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/qeE9mWA Docs: https://ift.tt/cm2l15p Announcement: https://ift.tt/P4K38e0...

Show HN: Tape It, iOS recording app for musicians Hello HN, Over the last 15 months, two friends and I developed the music recording app we felt we wanted based on our own needs as musicians. It's called Tape It [1] and has just recently hit the Apple App Store [2]. We put a lot of effort into a good UX to help musicians really focus on playing their instrument instead of pretending to be a recording engineer. The app records in stereo on newer iPhones (although that's a premium feature; the free version only records in standard mono audio quality). I would be really grateful for advice from this community on how to best approach marketing. We had a great TechCrunch article covering our launch [3], and we posted it on various music websites. Turns out advertising on Google or Apple Search is a dark art, though. We have some good ideas for developing a good social media presence, but they will take time. Please hit us with feedback, opinions and advice that you think a young ind...
