eko··on Archyl – The modern platform for C4 model documentation
Fair points, thanks for laying them out clearly.

A few clarifications:

1. We don't aim to replace diagrams-as-code or lock teams out of portable formats. Archyl focuses on discovering and keeping architecture in sync with reality: export and text-based representations are on the roadmap because portability matters.

2. Git integration today is read-only by design. We intentionally avoid bidirectional mutation of source or models until we can guarantee determinism and auditability.

3. We do not treat Archyl as a "golden source of truth" for code or IP. The goal is derived metadata and visualization, not ownership of your system definition.

4. Security is taken seriously: scoped access, least-privilege credentials, and no persistence of sensitive source artifacts beyond what's required for analysis. We're working on publishing a deeper security model to make this more explicit.

The philosophy tension you're pointing out is real, and we're trying to earn trust there rather than hand-wave it away. Appreciate the thoughtful critique.

Visualize your systems, discover architecture from code, and keep everything in sync.
eko··on Ask HN: Those making $0/month or less on side projects – Show and tell
Thank you for this thead!

I am currently working on a new open-source project, completely free to help enterprise manage their authorizations on a ce realized application: https://www.authz.fr/

Main benefits whereas existing projects is the simplicity of use and the frontend web UI which is generally in paid offers.

It comes with Service Development Kits in multiple languages (Go, NodeJS, PHP, Python) and more to come soon.

I hope someone could find something interesting here :)

eko··on The pleasure of writing Go
I am working with Go with more than 3 years quite full time and I could say that it's a real pleasure to work with a performant language.

After having some internal libraries to make repetitive jobs (while waiting for generics in Go 1.18), that's a good match for all the team!

That's also a well-documented language and easy to get started in!

Generics are coming in next version, go 1.18 in around 6 months ;)
eko··on Monday: Manage your development environment when working with microservices
Hi,

You’re right, actually it’s just about swapping a pod but I will think about adding the feature of deploying a new pod on an environment :)

Privileges are needed mainly for writing in /etc/hosts file

eko··on Tiny Slack bot library written in Go
Hi,

It's just to say that it is a library made for people that work with Go. This is not to especially mention that it is written using Go language ;)
