Show HN: SuperAPI – API Caching with Automatic Invalidation (No Code Changes)

https://playground.trysuperapi.com

Hey HNWe built SuperAPI (https://trysuperapi.com) to solve a pain many devs know too well: API performance and caching are hard, especially when dealing with dynamic data and invalidation logic.SuperAPI is a plug-and-play caching layer that: - Sits in front of your load-balancer - Caches responses out of the box - Automatically invalidates relevant cache entries when your database changes -...

Re:We used caching to reduce our AWS bills by 30% on Monday March 06, 2023 @02:33PM (#35046414)
Hey everyone,

We're building a way to use caching across more types of APIs which might have previously been considered non-cacheable.

This blog is a recap on how we stumbled on this solution.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Ask HN: What is the state of brain imaging to help depression?

Context: I'm someone who's struggled with depression myself, and have seen many others go through the same. I'm better now, and I want to help. Lot of the research I found talk about brain imaging to find the parts of the brain currently activated (under some stressors), and propose solutions.I'm curious about: 1. the current state of brain imaging technology to accurately identify solutions to...

The intro video (describing your product) is quite nice - would you be able to share how/where you got it made?
Re:Ask HN: How do you implement audit trail for a product? on Friday February 18, 2022 @07:31PM (#30393165)
At my previous company, we implemented basic audit trails using postgres triggers that recorded the before & after state of a row on upsert / delete. The triggers had to be set individually for each of the tables (same trigger function worked for all), and an added convenience view to see the diff of the changes helped. This worked pretty well us, since we didn't need details of the actor / IP address etc.

Re:Ask HN: What do you think about Docker Compose? on Thursday November 11, 2021 @12:09AM (#29184632)
Got it, I'll keep an eye out for these issues. Thank you.

Can you explain why you think so? I'm curious cos I was experimenting with this recently
Shameless plug: my project Revamp (https://revamphq.com) attempts to solve the same problem as this. Still in very early stages though - would love to talk if you find it interesting.
Re:How do non-techies edit Jamstack websites? on Wednesday March 03, 2021 @06:52AM (#26327240)
One of my projects is aimed at solving this problem: https://revamphq.com

Using Revamp, you can continue building on top of your existing stack while also allowing non-developers to make changes and deploy them immediately. Currently in beta.

Re:Notion.clone: open-source notes editor like in Notion on Wednesday November 11, 2020 @11:25PM (#25066428)
this sounds interesting - would you be able to add few more examples of where this could come in useful?

How did you find mentors?

I am hoping to startup soon, and I've come across a lot of advice to find mentors who have done this already, and can help guide.My questions: 1. how did you meet your mentor and build a relationship with them 2. how has it helped you (or not helped you) 3. if you have not had a mentor, what is your view on this 4. any advice on how I could go about finding a mentorfor context: I'm ~8 years...

I'm happy to help with this.

I have been the first engineer (& 1st employee) at a fin-tech start-up based out of Bangalore for 4 years now, and am currently the head of product & engineering (~50 engineers). The product is globally available, and is primarily sold in the US.

This sounds interesting. I've always had the problem of sorting through and finding my old documents. Would love to try it out. Can you tell me what the accuracy of your categorization is? Also, are you targeting any specific market to start with?

I built this over a weekend for fun. I'm trying to figure out if such a use-case exists for anyone. Appreciate your feedback :)
