Hey! I co-organize a live weekly thing about startup failure stories - F*ckUp Night.
Builders share mistakes they made, what happened next, and what they learned in ~10 min. People ask questions, give suggestions — it's honest and lively. The kind of stuff that can save you time and money at any stage.
Someone from the last one said: "Even though people shared their failures, I was not demotivated but rather motivated by their courage and experience." — and basically that's exactly how it feels.

Also, if you want to share your story, let's connect in DM.

Curious how SRE teams here handle incident postmortems.
I built a small tool that reads Slack war-room threads and generates an RCA automatically.
Example output:
• Timeline reconstructed from messages
• Root cause analysis
• Evidence links to logs
• Executive summary
Example incident flow:
03:47 — incident posted in Slack
03:49 — RCA generated
03:51 — fix suggested
Would love feedback from people doing on-call / incident response.

Hey hey! I’ve been working on this project for a couple of years, and I’m really excited (and a bit nervous) to finally share it here.

I built a game called Blind Draw. It’s a drawing game where you draw using invisible ink, so you can’t see what you’re drawing until the end. The results are often hilarious and surprisingly creative. It originally started as something I wanted to play with family and friends, just to laugh and have fun together.

Over time it slowly grew into a real game with different modes:
Free Draw where you can just experiment and create funny drawings

Copycat where you try to mimic a drawing without seeing your lines

Speed Drawing where you race against the clock to draw as fast as possible

Online play where friends draw and the others try to guess what it is

I’m currently doing a soft launch, and honestly it’s doing better than I expected, which makes me really happy after spending so much time building it.

If you enjoy silly creative games or want something fun to play with friends or family, I’d really love for you to try it and tell me what you think.

Hello, folks!
I am creating an autonomous agent that helps control AWS costs. I am a semifinalist in the AWS 10,000 AIdeas contest.
I need votes to move on to the next phase, but I don’t have a community, and many others have a lot of “likes” (voting is just a “like”), and I only have 5. It’s not fair, which is why I’m asking for your help.
If you have an AWS Builder Center account, it will only take 10 seconds: https://builder.aws.com/content/3AUmmi7bwtRwfwR8gsTSQno5joQ
Can I count on you?

Cron still works well for simple scheduling, but once you’re dealing with multiple servers or distributed workloads, it starts to show its limits.
I put together a comparison of several cron alternatives (Airflow, Rundeck, CloudRay, ActiveBatch, etc.) and when each actually makes sense in practice.

Hey folks. For those of you already using Xata for copy-on-write, how are you handling the application side of your preview environments?
We just put together a tutorial on pairing Signadot sandboxes with Xata to get full-stack isolation for every branch. It handles massive concurrency without having to duplicate your whole infra or wait for shared staging slots.
See the full workflow: https://www.signadot.com/docs/integrations/databases/xata

Hi folks - I wanted to share a project I've been working on called Stategraph.

It replaces Terraform and OpenTofu's flat state file with a database-backed dependency graph, so independent changes can plan in parallel. In practice that means plans in seconds instead of minutes.

Live demo on Feb 25 if you’re curious:

Most Heroku alternatives get compared by features, but in practice the billing model is what really shapes your experience.

I just shipped a new MCP server to align with a SEP we opened called Hotcross. It persists static code graphs + other agent context into a local chDB database, so agents can query durable project knowledge with SQL.

Highlights:

- 💾 Persistent storage in portable .db files
- 🔍️ SQL queries over stored context
- 🧠 Tree-sitter code intelligence (symbols, deps, references)
- 📝 Session memory (LLM chat history)
- ✅️ Todo/project tracking

Repo + quickstart: https://github.com/atelierlogos/hotcross

Would love your thoughts if this is in your wheelhouse.

Hi everyone, I’ve recently started writing blogs on infrastructure-related topics. So far, I’ve written three blogs:

Running GPUs in Kubernetes: From Setup to Scheduling and Sharing

Interesting read on the shift from manual code review to behavioral verification.
The argument is that checking syntax doesn't scale with AI agents, and is becoming irrelevant anyway, so the deploy preview becomes the primary gate.
Curious how others are thinking about this transition? Are you seeing a move away from line-by-line review yet?

Hey folks, Blast is hosting a live webinar with Rapyd’s CISO on why preemptive cloud defense is becoming the standard in 2026.
With non-human identities and IAM operating at machine speed, detection and response alone can’t close the risk window fast enough. Prevention is often the fastest mitigation.

Hey folks — I’m Satish from PrArySoft, building IncidentIQ, a Slack-native incident capture + summary tool.
It does /incident start + /incident end, then posts a clean summary, key events, action items, and a markdown export.
I’m recruiting 3–5 early beta teams (Slack-first incident response) and looking for honest feedback.
If anyone wants to test it during real incidents, DM me and I’ll share the install link + 1-page quick start.

Hey hey!

Hey everyone, I’m working on a tool to help freelancers and small agencies respond to RFPs quickly instead of manual copy pasting and coordinating with different SMEs for review.

The specific problem I’m trying to solve is, first, helping teams quickly decide if the RFP is worth pursuing before actually working on it. Second, to reduce users’ time on manually finding questions and copy-pasting answers from previous RFPs and then getting those reviewed by SMEs in multiple email threads.

It’s still pretty early and I’m still figuring out what’s the best way possible to reduce time and effort.

If anyone has dealt with RFPs before, I’d really appreciate any inputs like what part of the RFP response process is most painful and consumes most time.
Thank you

If anyone is struggling with test pollution in ephemeral environments, we wrote up a guide on how to handle the data layer.
It covers how to trigger ephemeral DB branches (using Neon) that match the lifecycle of your K8s sandboxes. The main win is using copy-on-write to get instant branches so you aren't waiting on database provisioning for every PR.
Here’s the tutorial if you’re interested: https://www.signadot.com/docs/integrations/databases/neon

Hi all, quick ask. I’m trying to find the right professional channels to share an upcoming technical webinar (no product pitch). It’s about practical multi-cloud security implementation using native controls (AWS/Azure/GCP) and how teams scale it across accounts, orgs, and environments.
If you know relevant Slack channels, LinkedIn groups, or newsletters where this fits, I’d appreciate pointers.

I’m looking for a California-based (LA, SD, or SF) technical co-founder to explore a DevSecOps / DevOps startup venture. I bring a GTM/Product Research focus and am seeking a partner with a complementary technical skillset to build and scale. If you’re local and interested in shifting security left, please DM me to discuss the vision.

Hi everyone,
We just published a blog on why agentic coding tools are great for accelerating code output, but won’t be able to accelerate actual velocity without shifting testing left to where the code is being written.
Interested to hear what you guys are seeing in terms of increased code output and how you’re preparing to handle it.
https://www.signadot.com/blog/agentic-coding-tools-are-accelerating-output-not-velocity

Unpopular opinion: If you treat your LLM as the architect rather than a component, you end up with a system that works 80% of the time and hallucinates the other 20%. The real bottleneck isn't the model, but the lack of integration testing in our delivery pipelines.
Check out this article on it: https://thenewstack.io/your-ci-cd-pipeline-is-not-ready-to-ship-ai-agents/
Curious to hear if others are hitting this wall.

Open mic for honest founder failures, shared anonymously.
What to expect:
• Anonymous failure stories from builders
• What they learned from it
• And how they recovered
+ Moderated, judgment-free discussion

It's an open mic session: speak if you want, listen if you prefer.

No success theatre. Just the truth that actually helps indie hackers grow.

Hey everyone, we put together a technical guide on testing RabbitMQ consumers in shared K8s clusters.
It tackles the competing consumer problem by using request-level isolation (routing keys + OTel) instead of spinning up separate brokers for every branch.
Hope it is useful if you are dealing with flaky async tests: https://www.signadot.com/blog/testing-microservices-with-rabbitmq-using-signadot-sandboxes
