Show HN: Aperture Open Source Flow Control and Reliability Platform Hello people of HN and fellow SREs! Over the past year, we have been building Aperture - an open-source flow control and reliability platform for cloud applications. Over the past few years, companies like LinkedIn[1], Google [2], Netflix [3], Stripe [4] have built cutting-edge flow control technologies to keep their applications reliable. Flow control is powerful because it enables graceful degradation- the ability to preserve key user experience pathways, even in the face of application failures. With Aperture project, we hope to democratize building reliable applications with effective flow control. Using Aperture’s powerful policy language, you can deploy flow control techniques such as weighted fair queuing for prioritized load-shedding and distributed rate-limiting for abuse prevention to your applications. Using modular components to build policies allows you to maintain optimal user experience during traffic spikes, prevents cloud resource wastage by regulating abusive users, and ensures that new feature rollouts don’t result in accidental downtime. We are excited to release Aperture as an open source project under the AGPL v3 license and invite SREs, DevOps, enthusiasts to give the project a try. We would love to hear your feedback on Aperture and how we can improve! Github: https://ift.tt/3gGVAYi Docs: https://ift.tt/B4I7sSa Announcement: https://ift.tt/LSf1XDW...
