Project mention: Python FastAPI: Integrating OAuth2 Security with the Application's Own Authentication Process | dev.to | 2024-05-13
Strapi is a Headless CMS built with TypeScript. It has a backend and a frontend. Just take a look at how many configuration files it has just for running the project.
Project mention: Bypass CORS errors while testing your APIs using Hoppscotch 🔧 | dev.to | 2024-04-17How can Hoppscotch help you intercept the API calls? 👽
We needed to introduce a new service for search. As we settled on using meilisearch, we needed a way to sync updates on our models with the records in meilisearch. We could've continued to use callbacks but we needed something better.
Hi there! I want to show off a little feature I made using hanami, htmx and a little bit of redis + sidekiq.
And I'll be using the OpenAPI Pet Store spec file as an example.
Project mention: Ask HN: Is Python async/await some kind of joke? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-27- Django Rest Framework has no async support? https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/issues/7260
Project mention: Simplifying Angular Development with Swagger: A Step-by-Step Guide | dev.to | 2024-04-11Swagger is a fantastic open-source toolset that's perfect for developing and describing RESTful APIs. It offers you a user-friendly interface to understand a service's capabilities without needing to dig into the code. It even provides a way for you to interact directly with the API, which means you get to test its functionality.
Project mention: Ask HN: Does Anyone Use a "Closed Core" Software Model? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-16> "Are there examples of companies adopting this model?"
Many examples across the industry:
- Autodesk AutoCAD (closed) + Plugins/Addons (many open)
- MS Windows (closed) + Many 3rd party programs (open)
- Github (closed) + Github Actions (open)
- Npm (closed) + Npm modules (mostly open)
> "What are the potential benefits or pitfalls?"
Benefits:
- Harder to replicate, the company gets to keep the "secret sauce" a secret
- Opening up a way to "extend" the platform means 3rd party developers add value to your system
- The core isn't open, so less effort is required to maintain compare to OpenSource
Pitfalls:
- Closed-source is hard to verify, company is essentially saying "trust me bro"
- Less innovation, as user's can't contribute to the core
> "How does it impact community engagement and software adoption?"
There's hardcore FOSS advocates that will hate anything not fully open. But a business has to make money and protect it's IP, having a "closed core" is one way to do that and ensure a sustainable business model.
Another approach is the opposite, open-core + closed-premium-addons. An example of this is "React Admin"
- Open Core -> https://github.com/marmelab/react-admin
- Premium Modules Offering -> https://react-admin-ee.marmelab.com/
Project mention: The API database architecture – Stop writing HTTP-GET endpoints | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-10Yes, sorry about that. We're looking at it on https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/issues/3503.
I found some "tricks" to write less code, hence less code to maintain if there are any changes. Also less code with bugs just by changing the inputs.
For example, OpenAPI spec file + OpenAPI generator (https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator). Any changes in the OpenAPI spec are reflected in the final code with a build step.
Another example: MapStruct (https://mapstruct.org/) to avoid passing data from Entity classes to DTO and back. Saves looots of boilerplate code.
Which are your tricks?
Project mention: Simplifying Angular Development with Swagger: A Step-by-Step Guide | dev.to | 2024-04-11Swagger offers more than just a user-friendly interface for exploring APIs. It also provides multiple generators that can produce code typically written by hand. As an Angular developer, this blog post will focus on the typescript-angular generator.
Project mention: Ky: Tiny and elegant JavaScript HTTP client based on the browser Fetch API | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-24
Project mention: Show HN: Alaz: Open-Source, Self-Hosted, eBPF-Based K8s Monitoring | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-06The one similar product I had come across is Kubeshark (https://github.com/kubeshark/kubeshark). But admittedly the eBPF way seems more performant theoretically (given you can afford to have a modern-enough kernel). I'm really excited to see how this project develops out.
The eBPF-mode of innovation is pretty exciting, truly a fresh lens to building software. I'm also following Akita Software - the company building an eBPF paradigm of monitoring.

Project mention: Building a Basic Forex Rate Assistant Using Agents for Amazon Bedrock | dev.to | 2024-04-29I did the same for the other API and adjusted the spec using the Swagger Editor. Specifically, I added detailed descriptions that should help the agent understand the API usages. The resulting OpenAPI YAML file is as follows:
