proposals VS Zulip

Check out temporal.io open source project. It was built at Uber for large scale business-level processes. So any data pipelines are low-rate use cases by definition.

With KuFlow it is also possible to work with serverless workflows apart from Temporal.io, we explain it in this blog entry, but in summary, almost as a no-code tool, the correct use It would be a rather low-code tool; in just a matter of minutes with our drag-and-drop tool, you can have a workflow that interacts with one or more users of the organization.

Otherwise you may want to look into Kafka or Fluvio to ensure that task runs at least once. If you're doing something like batch operations as a background task, Temporal is another great option.

The runtime is developed using Temporal, which is one of the main tools that we are currently using at KuFlow. Thanks to, all the workflow executions are robust: your application will be durable, reliable, and scalable.

Hmmm I got confused by the name. I thought it's related to https://temporal.io/

Have you looked at temporal.io open source platform? It uses event sourcing as an implementation detail. But it greatly simplifies the user experience compared to "raw event sourcing."

Rewrite Airflow on top of temporal.io. This way, you get unlimited scalability and very high reliability out of the box and would be able to innovate on the features that matter for DE.

Hi all, founder @ Retool here. Over the past year, we’ve been working on Retool Workflows; a fast way for engineers to automate tasks with code. We started building the product because we ourselves (as developers) were looking for something in-between writing cron jobs (which involves a lot of boilerplate) and Zapier (which oftentimes isn’t customizable enough, since it doesn’t _really_ support writing code).

Workflows is a code-first automation tool: you’re _expected_ to write code, but we handle all the boilerplate for you. For example: out-of-the-box integration with 80+ resources (you probably don’t want to be trying to figure out OAuth 2.0 with Salesforce!), monitoring and observability (so you can see the output of every run in the past, and immediately be notified if something goes wrong), and permissions (e.g. some Okta groups can see the outputs of Workflows, but can’t change the code itself).

Right now, the product is cloud-only, but we’re hard at work at an on-prem, self-hosted version (in a Docker image). If you’re interested in that version, feel free to email us at [email protected]. We aim to get it out in the next few weeks. Self-hosted Retool is responsible for a large portion of our usage today, and we’re excited to be supporting Workflows too.

All Retool plans now include 1GB of Workflows throughput, which we think is quite generous (80% of active Workflows users are below 1GB). We don’t bill by run at all, so you’re welcome to run as many workflows as you want.

We use a bunch of interesting technology for Workflows; we are, for example, using Temporal (https://temporal.io/) under the hood. That’s something we’re going to be writing a blog post about later. (We’ve been hard at work on the launch, hah.)

In such a diverse world, it would be boring to have a single way of doing things. That's why at KuFlow we support different ways to implement the logic of our processes and tasks. And in this post, we will talk about one of them, the orchestration through Temporal, which gives us a powerful way to manage our workflows.

Zulip — Real-time chat with a unique email-like threading model. The free plan includes 10,000 messages of search history and File storage up to 5 GB. also, it provides a self-hostable open-source version.

(1) Zulip Chat - https://zulip.com/ - seems to be reasonably popular, but more people should know about it

I’ve been using it for over 5 years now [1], and it’s as good as ever. It’s way faster than any other chat app I’ve used. It has a good UI and conversation model. It has a simple and functional API that lets me curl threads and write blog posts based on them.

(only problem is that I Ctrl-+ in my browser to make the font bigger – I think it’s too dense for most people)

(2) re2c regex to state machine compiler - https://re2c.org

A gem from the 90’s, which people have done a great job maintaining and improving (getting Go and Rust target support in the last few years). I started using it in 2016, and used for a new program a few months ago. I came to the conclusion that it should have been built into C, because C has shitty string processing – and Ken Thompson both invented C AND brought regular languages to computing !!

In comparison, treesitter lexers are very low level, fiddly, and error prone. I recently saw dozens of ad hoc fixes to the tree-sitter-bash lexer, which is unsurprising if you look at the structure of the code (manually crawling through backslashes and braces in C).

https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-bash/blob/master/...

These fixes are definitely appreciated, but I think it indicates a problem with the model itself.

A few more truly in the vibe of open source projects not advertising their hosting providers: https://plane.so/ , https://element.io/ , https://www.loomio.com/ , https://zulip.com/ , and it keeps going... Very few open source projects, in the FOSS sense, are advertising their hosting provider.

I was so excited to see this happen!

I'm not a customer of yours, but your blog posts inspired me a lot. Your journey through quitting caffeine is a great and heartening read.

I've got two things to say;

1) Will you consider source-availabling the web portal (app.keygen.sh) too? Some enterprises could use it for easy management/support for custoner's licenses. Although now that I think about it, it could also discourage custom, more suitable implementations for each use-case... I'm torn on this one. I would like to see it available on GitHub too just out of curiosity too. It's very beautiful.

2) For a team + customers' chat, I cannot recommend Zulip enough. It's a joy to use and has the most innovative chat system I've ever seen. https://zulip.com

I hope your business keeps prospering!

Zulip | Senior Flutter Engineer | REMOTE or San Francisco | Full-time | https://zulip.com/

At Zulip, we’re out to build the world’s best collaboration platform, and we’re committed to keeping it 100% open source. Zulip is the only modern team chat app that is designed for both live and asynchronous conversations. Our product serves as the communication hub for businesses, open-source projects, educators and communities around the world.

We're building the next generation of Zulip's mobile apps in Flutter. We're looking for a senior engineer with Flutter experience to join our small core team and help define the future of team chat. Our Flutter prototype is just a few months old, so this is a greenfield opportunity to help shape the app's architecture from early on.

Anyways, I'm an internet stranger, not a social media expert. So let me know what you all think. And if we make a discord or zulip or something to make this a reality, let me know and I'd love to help any way I can.
