pksunkaraon Temporal raises $550M at a $12.55B valuation

Can someone tell me why people prefer temporal over something like https://restate.dev?

pksunkaraon Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2026)

I am working on a code forge that can work offline for the collaborative stuff. https://juju.bi

pksunkaraon Git hosting that never leaves Europe

Yes, it is a cloud service and CI. It is not region specific for now since I am not in EU.

pksunkaraon Git hosting that never leaves Europe

How is this different from a custom forgejo hosted in europe? What features does this provide compared to traditional code forges?

Disclaimer: I am building https://juju.bi, therefore you don't need to answer if uncomfortable.

pksunkaraon Cursor launches Origin, GitHub alternative

I am working on a GitHub compatible API for my code forge at https://juju.bi, and thus all the existing integrations of GitHub should theoretically work with my code forge too.

pksunkaraon Tangleflow: Converts GitHub Actions workflows to tangled workflows and back

FWIW, I really like what Tangled is doing and I agree that we need a federation of forges. Which is why, I am planning to use ATproto too for public repositories in the code forge I am building, https://juju.bi

pksunkaraon Jack Dorsey launches Buzz to combine team chat, AI agents and Git hosting

I am building a new code forge at https://juju.bi

It's not agent-first, but I can't think of any features that are needed for agents other than scalability.

pksunkaraon Ask HN: Which GitHub features are needed in a code forge before you can migrate?

Let me start off (assuming all code forges have PRs)

  1. Branch protection rules
  2. CI
  3. Terraform provider (API)

pksunkaraon Radicle: Sovereign {code forge} built on Git

I would love to know the need behind pushing over HTTPS. Is the SSH protocol not good?

pksunkaraon GitHub Stacked PRs

I think the CLI is useful for pushing. What do you use to push all the rebased child branches?

pksunkaraon Code Storage by the Pierre Computer Company

I am still curious why they stopped offering their original service. What was the feedback from users? Why did developers not want to use it?

pksunkaraon Unconventional PostgreSQL Optimizations

Thanks, missed that part. I would still be interested in knowing how much additional storage that adds, if the OP is interested in updating the article.

pksunkaraon Unconventional PostgreSQL Optimizations

I think a stored generated column allows you to create an index on it directly. Isn't it better approach?

pksunkaraon Nobody knows how to build with AI yet

I am working on something for that at https://automa.app. Let me know if you are interested in trying it out.

pksunkaraon Rust CLI with Clap

Actually,

1. `color` feature and thus the `anstream` dep is optional.

2. Even if you use it, it handles all the behaviour correctly regarding the piping and no color support, which is why it is a dependency in the first place.

pksunkaraon Making Beautiful API Keys

This ulid Postgres extension doesn't have any performance issues compared to native uuidv7 in Postgres. https://github.com/pksunkara/pgx_ulid. Just wanted to bring it up since it looks like the author didn't come across it when looking for ulid generators in postgres.

Disclaimer: I built it.

pksunkaraon Refactoring Python with Tree-sitter and Jedi

Where can I learn more about this? You guys don't seem to have any docs available.

pksunkaraon The Stainless SDK Generator

How do you guys differ against https://www.speakeasyapi.dev and https://www.buildwithfern.com and https://liblab.com?

pksunkaraon Unexpected downsides of UUID keys in PostgreSQL

Implementing support for UUIDv7 does not equal implementing support for ULID. ULID needs to be treated as a first class citizen (type, read format, storage format, converters) instead of being an afterthought result from UUIDv7.

I have built a postgres extension for adding ULID support which does what I described. https://github.com/pksunkara/pgx_ulid

pksunkaraon State of Routing in Rust

Hey, thanks for posting this. :)

pksunkaraon Going Serverless: Migrating an Express App to AWS API Gateway and AWS Lambda

We reduced our service server costs to 1/6th by moving from Heroku to Lambda. And that's not even considering the main benefit of a big computational request not blocking other requests (which is why we moved to it in the first place).

pksunkaraon Vue 2.0 is here

I have written a webpack plugin which generates `.vue` files automatically and you just keep writing `js`, `css` and `html`.

pksunkaraon RAML – RESTful API modeling language

What do you think about API Blueprint [1]? It is based on Markdown.

pksunkaraon RAML – RESTful API modeling language

Can I suggest API Blueprint [1]? It is much more human friendly and easier to work on API design. Apiary has tools for complete API lifecycle management.

Disclaimer: I work on making API Blueprint better.

pksunkaraon Material Design Lite

You can but I didn't like it and wanted to use react.js

pksunkaraon Material Design Lite

This is such a cool move from google. Doing material design in HTML/CSS/JS is pure win.

I am working on React.js components for this. I have already did half of them. Check out https://github.com/pksunkara/react-mdl. I welcome any contributions.

EDIT: Components can be seen at https://github.com/pksunkara/react-mdl/tree/master/src

==========================================

Fullstack Developer (Core Application Team)

===========================================

As a member of the Application team, you are going to be responsible for crafting, delivering and maintaining the main apiary.io application (including the Apiary for Teams feature set).

In this vertical team, you are going to collaborate with your fellow team members on providing the best tooling and platform for designing, developing, and maintaining APIs worldwide.

Building great APIs is all about effective collaboration, be the one building the tools (teams, managing a team, user roles, access control, ...).

You'll be developing one of the most-used API Documentation worldwide. Documentation including interactive Console, documentation that has to run smoothly on mobile and touch-based devices, has to support plenty of customization options, and on top of that has to be super fast.

Don't forget about Mock Server and Debugging Proxy. Mock Server is all about speed and pairing responses defined in an API blueprint (choosing what response is the best fit). Debugging Proxy is a tough one. (...). Don't leave out payments (trials, subscriptions, ...).

You'll be responsible for the most visible part of our product suite that defines how Apiary is perceived.

pksunkaraon An API is only as good as its documentation

You can try using API Blueprint (https://apiblueprint.org) which is based on Markdown can host your API docs at http://apiary.io

pksunkaraon Ask HN: Tell me your biggest pain and I will try to solve it

Better golang package management.

pksunkaraon Ask HN: What's the best way to write an API spec?

Disclaimer: I work for Apiary.

API Blueprint [1] is an open source API description format which can be used to intuitively describe an API.

MSON [2] is a recent addition to the above format which makes it easy to describe all kinds of complex requests and responses in the spec.

You can email me at pavan [at] apiary [dot] io if you have any more questions.
