Hey HN! I created a fork of pulumi to explore how we can bring Pulumi's state-journaling architecture to DIY and self-hosted state backends. It's available at https://github.com/ebrake/pulumi-journaling

Background: Pulumi recently detailed their journaling architecture (https://www.pulumi.com/blog/journaling/), which changes how state snapshots are synced. Instead of uploading a massive full state snapshot on every operation (which gets sluggish for large stacks), it streams incremental state operations in parallel, achieving up to 20x speedups.

Journaling optimization has historically been tied to Pulumi Cloud. This repo brings similar state journaling and crash-recovery mechanics (like tracking epoch manifests) that works for file/S3/DIY backends.

I measured these timings against standard OSS pulumi using a GCS rapid bucket (https://docs.cloud.google.com/storage/docs/rapid/rapid-bucke...) which has low latency and is inexpensive given the amount of storage usage with a state bucket. Speedups become more effective the more resources you have.

Resources | Updated | Without journaling | With journaling | Speedup ----------+---------+--------------------+-----------------+-------- 24 | 15 | 19.66 | 1.69 | 11.6x 91 | 50 | 71.36 | 2.12 | 33.7x 152 | 50 | 70.97 | 1.91 | 37.1x

Would love feedback from anyone else working on IaC state management, concurrency, or crash recovery patterns!

Hi there, we built a Travel Alerts API that includes data about everything that can disrupt traveling.

We pull travel advisories, severe weather, natural hazards, outbreaks and strikes from 80+ official sources. Then we put them all on one severity scale, so every source is rated the same way.

You send a destination and travel dates, and you get back only the alerts that apply. Advice from several governments on the same country is merged into one short summary. You can request alerts when you need them, or have new ones pushed to you.

I’d love feedback, please get in touch if you want to give it a try.

You can get the API at https://tripomatic.com/en/b2b/travel-alerts

I built an ai agent that can control your phone in background

I have been trying out personal agents that work on cloud and it has been a pain to give my session details (like otp) every single time.

with amazon blocking personal agents, i thought it would be pretty cool if an agent can use my phone and do tasks for me in background

so, i decided to build one for android devices.

it currently uses wireless debugging to make a virtual display and open apps in background.

would love to know what you guys think! you can try it out downloading apk from heysenku.com

Every day I encounter more weirdness of SQLite. Is this the JavaScript of databases?
