Working on Fairvisor — a tool for API governance and usage control.

The problem: one buggy integration, scraper, or infinite retry loop can suddenly explode your API costs or overload infrastructure before anyone notices.

Fairvisor acts as a guardrail in front of your API:

per-tenant and per-route rate limits

request budgets and soft/hard caps

anomaly alerts for sudden spikes

The edge component is open source (OpenResty / Nginx + Lua) and the SaaS part provides policy management and audit.

Still early, validating whether teams would use something like this instead of building internal scripts.

I am terribly sorry for self-advertising, but:

I am just now busy building a solution: self-hosted sophisticated rate-limiting.

More complex than nginx, more private than cloudfare. Please joint the waitlist if you want to morally support me ;)

That's why I am building a Rate Limiter as a service. Seems that it has its niche.


Sorry if I trigger anyone's paranoia, but 1. who told you that it's not a state-backed attack? 2. and if 1 is true, who told it, it's not Russia staying behind it?

and if 2 is true, the KGB university alumni Kaspersky definitely is related to it.


And it's relevant to the article because?


I suppose they say that because the article has been written by Kaspersky, and it's hosted on a server under their control?


Even let's go all the way down and say the backdoor was directly written by Kaspersky themselves, does it change the value of the content (which is purely technical analysis) anyhow?


I suppose parent comment don't discuss the quality of the article but the theoretical danger of connecting to a server under Kaspersky control.

>does he get penalized if part of the dev team gets hired by another company, which makes it harder for him to hit the milestones?

Of course yes. The part of executive responsibility is to maintain the team and calculate the riscs .


Oh sure, but if the reason the employees were poached was because the non-technical founder refused to pay the dev employees more, then whose fault is it?


It was about non technical founders who don’t give technical founders equal footing for the work they’re doing that they can’t.


Is it only me who sees BDSM logo here?


Also interesting that a new “bad guy” from the Caucasus might be the actual attacker.



The window is not closed.

I am 42, my wife is 41. Our youngest child is 8 month old.


Compared with German, it's complicated. German has only "Past Perfect" and "Past simple" tenses.

English has at least 4.
