Show HN: I built an app for when I talk too much in online meetings
Hey HN!<p>Alexis here, I’m a product manager and software developer in Berlin by way of New York.<p>I want to show you this app I made – It’s like a "buddy" for those, like myself, who inadvertedly talk too much in meetings.<p>The app gives me feedback and a little more in control of what I have influence over by:<p>* Keeping track of how long I’ve been speaking<p>* Catching myself before I talk too much<p>* Developing a better sense of timing<p>I truly love having conversations with people in real-life.<p>But online meetings, especially group calls, tend to make me nervous. I can't read body language. The tone of voice, micro-experessions and social cues get lost.<p>If you, too, accidentally talk too much too often, check it out "Unblah". Watch the quick 2-minute demo and download the macOS app over at <a href="https://unblah.me/" rel="nofollow">https://unblah.me/</a>.<p>Cheers!<p>Alexis<p>PS: There’s a whole FAQ section for common questions you may have – Including if this is yet another "native" Electron app ;)<p>edit: bullet-list formatting

Show HN: Simple cloud deployments with CD as-a-Service
Hey folks, I'm Ben from Armory.io (YC W17). We just launched Continuous Deployment-as-a-Service (CDaaS) to make it easy for developers to deploy their apps safely to the cloud. We’d greatly appreciate (raw, candid) feedback from the HN community if this solution improves the speed at which you deploy to production. We have a free-forever tier that gives you up to 25 Application Targets[1] (our unit of scale for pricing).<p>Try it here: <a href="https://www.armory.io/products/continuous-deployment-as-a-service/" rel="nofollow">https://www.armory.io/products/continuous-deployment-as-a-se...</a><p><i>Our Story</i><p>We’ve been helping large companies with CD since 2016 by selling them our distribution of Spinnaker (spinnaker.io, originally Netflix OSS). We’ve learned three big lessons:<p>One reason developers are drawn to Spinnaker is because it provides an imperative approach to orchestrating deployment workflows
Operating Spinnaker “on-prem” (usually in the customer’s AWS account) requires significant effort
Doing true continuous deployment to production requires the use of advanced strategies to mitigate risk<p>These learnings inspired us to build CDaaS and make it easy for developers to employ well-understood deployment strategies like blue/green and canary deployments without having to write custom code. With CDaaS, our aim is to deliver many of the features developers rely on from Spinnaker, but in a declarative manner that supports the GitOps approach they know and use extensively.<p>CDaaS currently supports deployments to Kubernetes but we’re adding additional cloud providers quickly (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc)<p><i>How It Works</i><p>Connect any number of Kubernetes clusters to our central control plane by installing a lightweight network agent. Once connected, you can configure your application deployment logic in a declarative YAML file that can be checked in alongside your app’s source code. Deployments can be invoked from our CLI which allow you to use your existing CI platform (Jenkins, Github Actions, CircleCI, etc) to trigger a deployment. Monitor deployments (and take additional action like rolling back, if needed) from our UI.<p><i>More Information</i><p>CD-as-a-Service product docs: <a href="https://docs.armory.io/cd-as-a-service/" rel="nofollow">https://docs.armory.io/cd-as-a-service/</a><p>Short Demo (8 min): <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r29UCKMXEi4" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r29UCKMXEi4</a>
Show HN: A benchmark for analytical databases (Snowflake, Druid, Redshift)
I created a web page to compare different analytical databases (both self-managed and services, open-source and proprietary) on a realistic dataset.
It contains 20+ databases, each with installation and data loading scripts. And they can be compared to each other on a set of 43 queries, by data load time or by storage size.<p>There are switches to select different types of databases for comparison - for example, only MySQL compatible or PostgreSQL compatible.<p>If you play with the switches, many interesting details will be uncovered.<p>Full description: <a href="https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickBench/blob/main/README.md" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickBench/blob/main/README.md</a>
