Django 5.0 Is Released
I'll preface all of this with a couple esoteric design goals that I had in mind:
1. I actually _want_ an SPA. You might not need an SPA, if you don't need one then Vue/React/etc are overkill, etc.
2. I want to power as much of the SPA as I can using the same REST API as my core product, both for dogfooding reasons and for consolidation. Many people might argue that this is a bad idea.
---
With that in mind, some specific packages that I highly recommend:
1. Django-vite (https://github.com/MrBin99/django-vite). This makes it very easy to serve an SPA from the actual django response/request model
2. Some sort of way to get type information (if you're using TypeScript) into the frontend. I use a frankensteined system of the OpenAPI spec that django-ninja generates + openapi-typescript (https://github.com/drwpow/openapi-typescript). This means when I add, say, a new field to a response in Django, I immediately get typechecking for it in Vue — which has been _tremendously_ useful.
3. Django-typescript-routes (a package I extracted and open-sourced!: https://github.com/buttondown-email/django-typescript-routes) which gives your front-end routing information based on the Django router.

Tell HN: Postman just wiped all my stuff
Glad to see alternatives but disappointed that Bruno does not support OpenAPI specification.
At my company, we hand-edit OpenAPI specs in YAML and it gets consumed by many tools that generate types[0], static analysis and dynamic checks[1]. The OpenAPI spec itself is linted[2]. And of course, Postman consumes OpenAPI.
Tools that are built on open standards will naturally see greater adoption over those that use proprietary formats.

tRPC – Move Fast and Break Nothing. End-to-end typesafe APIs made easy
Another great library to generate TS types from OpenAPI is https://github.com/drwpow/openapi-typescript . It provides the types as single objects you access via indexing, which is pretty nice. There's a partner library to generate a typed fetch client.

How can I generate typescript types?
If you're willing to document your API with an OpenAPI schema, then it should be possible to generate TypeScript types based on the OpenAPI schema with something like openapi-typescript. Also, Typebox can generate JSON schemas, maybe it can be used to generate something that the front-end can also use?

REST APIs underpin the internet but are still painful to work with. They are often untyped, unstandardized, and out-of-sync across multiple sources of truth. With Fern, we aim to bring great developer experiences to REST APIs.
Our stack is Next.js + Vercel, Express (Node.js) + FastAPI (Python), Postgres DB + Prisma ORM, and AWS CDK. We're open source: https://www.github.com/fern-api/fern
We closed a Seed this year from top-tier US investors, including Y Combinator, Abhinav Asthana (Postman CEO), Arash Ferdowsi (Dropbox co-founder), and Ian McCrystal (Stripe's Head of Docs).

Show HN: REST Alternative to GraphQL and tRPC
Thank you for your encouraging words and insights!
There are indeed popular DSLs and code to openapi solutions out there. Many of which are easy to plug in to the openapi-stack libraries btw!
I guess I personally always found it frustrating to try to control the generated OpenAPI output using additional tooling and ended up preferring yaml + a visualisation tool as the api design workflow. (e.g. swagger editor)
But something like https://buildwithfern.com, or using zod as substitute for json schema may indeed be worth a try as a step before emitting openapi.

Show HN: Langfuse – Open-source observability and analytics for LLM apps
Hi HN! Langfuse is OSS observability and analytics for LLM applications (repo: https://github.com/langfuse/langfuse, 2 min demo: https://langfuse.com/video; try it yourself: https://langfuse.com/demo)
Langfuse makes capturing and viewing LLM calls (execution traces) a breeze. On top of this data, you can analyze the quality, cost and latency of LLM apps.
When GPT-4 dropped, we started building LLM apps – a lot of them! [1, 2] But they all suffered from the same issue: it’s hard to assure quality in 100% of cases and even to have a clear view of user behavior. Initially, we logged all prompts/completions to our production database to understand what works and what doesn’t. We soon realized we needed more context, more data and better analytics to sustainably improve our apps. So we started building a homegrown tool.
Our first task was to track and view what is going on in production: what user input is provided, how prompt templates or vector db requests work, and which steps of an LLM chain fail. We built async SDKs and a slick frontend to render chains in a nested way. It’s a good way to look at LLM logic ‘natively’. Then we added some basic analytics to understand token usage and quality over time for the entire project or single users (pre-built dashboards).
Under the hood, we use the T3 stack (Typescript, NextJs, Prisma, tRPC, Tailwind, NextAuth), which allows us to move fast + it means it's easy to contribute to our repo. The SDKs are heavily influenced by the design of the PostHog SDKs [3] for stable implementations of async network requests. It was a surprisingly inconvenient experience to convert OpenAPI specs to boilerplate Python code and we ended up using Fern [4] here. We’re fans of Tailwind + shadcn/ui + tremor.so for speed and flexibility in building tables and dashboards fast.
Our SDKs run fully asynchronously and make network requests in the background. We did our best to reduce any impact on application performance to a minimum. We never block the main execution path.
We've made two engineering decisions we've felt uncertain about: to use a Postgres database and Looker Studio for the analytics MVP. Supabase performs well at our scale and integrates seamlessly into our tech stack. We will need to move to an OLAP database soon and are debating if we need to start batching ingestion and if we can keep using Vercel. Any experience you could share would be helpful!
Integrating Looker Studio got us to first analytics charts in half a day. As it is not open-source and does not work with our UI/UX, we are looking to switch it out for an OSS solution to flexibly generate charts and dashboards. We’ve had a look at Lightdash and would be happy to hear your thoughts.
We’re borrowing our OSS business model from Posthog/Supabase who make it easy to self-host with features reserved for enterprise (no plans yet) and a paid version for managed cloud service. Right now all of our code is available under a permissive license (MIT).
Next, we’re going deep on analytics. For quality specifically, we will build out model-based evaluations and labeling to be able to cluster traces by scores and use cases.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and discussion – we’ll be in the comments. Thanks!

tRPC – Move Fast and Break Nothing. End-to-end typesafe APIs made easy
You can recommend it in what context, from openapi (as they claim https://github.com/fern-api/fern#starting-from-openapi ) or from their ... special ... definition schema?

OpenAPI v4 Proposal
I'm one of the builders of an open source project (buildwithfern.com) to improve client codegen. One of the learnings I've had is that the quality of OpenAPI specs varies widely (like really widely). We wrote a linter that suggests improvements to your OpenAPI before you run the code generators and that's been really helpful for generating idiomatic clients.
