Hightitan, a lightweight framework for high-concurrency data streaming

Hacker News - Thu, 03/12/2026 - 12:09am

We’ve been working on HIGHTITAN—a small, open-source framework designed to handle high-concurrency data streams without the usual overhead of heavy middleware.

The core problem we faced: standard streaming setups were too bloated for our specific low-latency requirements. With HIGHTITAN, we moved to a zero-copy buffer approach, which keeps our processing pipeline extremely lean and fast.

What we’ve learned:

Performance: Achieved stable sub-50ms latency under high load.

Design: Used a minimalist schema definition that avoids unnecessary serialization steps.

If you’re working on real-time data pipelines and want something that stays out of the way, check it out. Would love any feedback on the architecture or ideas on how to optimize the memory management further.

Ask HN: Built API monitor with root cause analysis – unable to find first users

Hacker News - Thu, 03/12/2026 - 12:04am

I'm a CS student at PES University and over the last few months I built Pulse, a free API uptime monitor. I wanted to share what I built and genuinely ask for advice on distribution because I'm stuck.

I wasn't happy with how existing free monitors handle incidents. They tell you something is down but give you nothing to debug with. So I focused on making Pulse actually useful after an alert fires.

What I built:

Root cause analysis — breaks every failed request into DNS lookup, TCP connect, TLS handshake, and TTFB stages, compares each against the historical baseline, and tells you which stage failed with a confidence score and plain-English suggestion.

Health scoring — 0-100 score per monitor based on uptime, response time trends, and variance. Lets you see degradation happening before actual downtime.

Anomaly detection — warns when response time is consistently 2x the 7-day baseline across 3 consecutive pings.

Auto incident reports — generates a post-mortem after every recovery with timeline, response time comparison, and impact estimate.

Rich alerts — Discord, Slack, and push notifications include status code, response time at failure, and a direct link to the incident.

All free, 5 monitors, no credit card.

The problem: I've posted on Reddit but my account keeps getting filtered. I have zero users outside of people I know personally. I don't have a marketing budget and I'm not sure where developers who actually care about monitoring hang out.

Specific questions I'm stuck on: - Is the root cause analysis angle actually a meaningful differentiator or is it a nice-to-have? - Where would you go to find devops engineers or backend developers who would genuinely care about this? - Is free-with-Pro-coming the right model or does free just attract people who will never pay?

Any honest feedback appreciated, including if the product itself has obvious problems I'm not seeing. Link to my project in my about me, or just ask in comments :).

Just got an email from Porkbun

> We have been made aware that the registry behind the .ORG domain extension is increasing pricing industry-wide at 00:00 UTC on June 1, 2026.

> Based on the wholesale increase, we expect our current standard domain price for .ORG domain names to increase from $10.74 to between $13-14.

Show HN: AutoICD API – AI clinical coding platform for ICD-10 and SNOMED

Hacker News - Thu, 03/12/2026 - 12:00am

Hi HN,

I built AutoICD, an AI-powered clinical coding platform that converts unstructured medical text into ICD-10 and SNOMED-CT codes. This is not an LLM wrapper. The platform uses a multi-layer machine learning architecture internally, combining custom-trained models with curated medical knowledge.

Platform and tooling:

- JS SDK – https://github.com/fcggamou/autoicd-js - Python SDK – https://github.com/fcggamou/autoicd-python - MCP Server – https://github.com/fcggamou/autoicd-mcp

Use cases and benefits:

- Automated ICD-10 and SNOMED coding from clinical notes - Creation of structured datasets for research and analytics - Integration with AI assistants via MCP - Scalable pipelines optimized for real-world healthcare data - Access to ICD-10 codes and metadata programmatically

Feedback from anyone working on medical AI, clinical NLP, or MCP tooling is welcome.

Show HN: MCP server for ICD-10 and SNOMED clinical coding

Hacker News - Wed, 03/11/2026 - 11:53pm

Hi HN,

I built an MCP server that exposes an API for automated clinical coding.

Repo: https://github.com/fcggamou/autoicd-mcp

It allows AI assistants that support the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to convert clinical text into structured medical codes like ICD-10 and SNOMED-CT.

Example use cases:

• coding diagnoses from clinical notes • extracting structured codes from medical documentation • integrating medical coding into LLM workflows • healthcare data pipelines

Example prompt with an MCP-enabled assistant:

“Convert this clinical note into ICD-10 codes”

The server then calls the AutoICD API and returns structured codes.

The goal is to make it easy to plug medical coding into AI agents and tools.

Would love feedback from anyone working on healthcare AI, medical NLP, or MCP tooling.
