  3. herdr

    the runtime your coding agents live on

    Project mention: OpenAI Agents API | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-09-10

    Considering the harness needs to be running how else would this work?

    Pretty easy these days with old school tools like tmux but more modern tooling like herdr [0] is really the path you'd want to take.

  4. surrealdb

    A scalable, distributed, collaborative, document-graph database, for the realtime web

    Project mention: Show HN: BlitzGraph – Supabase for graphs, built for LLM agents | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-06-23

    Hello! I would say about 50% of them were bugs, 25% were features/mechanisms I loved from the the other ones, and 25% trying to push a better way to model things, which is what I never got in none of them. Typedb would be close if entities could evolve and belong to multiple types, as well as if they focused on making it adapted for app creation, but it wasn't their priority. In surrealdb I opened several issues around enhancing the graph db part, add some topological ordering to mutations the way typedb does it and several other topics. The most recent ones are in surrealdb's repo: https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealdb/issues?q=is%3Aissue%2.... Half of them have been achieved but the other half remains. With blitzgraph I tried to take the best ideas and pracrices from each, keep the tradeoffs loww, and lean as hard as possible into being AI-agent-first

    Project mention: K3sup – bootstrap K3s over SSH in < 60s | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-05-01

    I used this for a bit a few years ago but eventually needed something that was hard or impossible in k3sup and just went to using the k3s tools directly. My deployment script actually got simpler after removing k3sup.

    Also, fun fact, k3sup is pronounced "ketchup" according to the README[0]

  24. FalkorDB

    A super fast Graph Database uses GraphBLAS under the hood for its sparse adjacency matrix graph representation. Our goal is to provide the best Knowledge Graph for LLM (GraphRAG).

    Project mention: Perl 🐪 Weekly #773 - The perl-tester Docker image | dev.to | 2026-05-18

    A couple of days ago I started to play with FalkorDB, an Open Source Graph Database. I already gave a presentation in Hebrew on how to use in general and specifically in Python. In a couple of hours I am going to give another one - this time in English - an intro to GraphDB. I'll use Rust for the programatic examples. It seems there is no client for it in Perl so it might be an interesting project to build one. The one in Python uses the Redis module for connectivity so I looked at the options to use Redis in Perl. MetaCPAN showed the Redis module as the first hit. Unfortunately that module did not have a commit for 3 years and there are many outstanding Issues and even PRs. So I posted about it both in the Perl Maven WhatsApp group and in the Telegram channel. Within seconds I was pointed towards Mojo::Redis and Redis::XS as alternatives.
