Gauge (YC S24)

Copilots are incredibly effective tools for engineers, but often tech debt is a blocker to realizing its full potential: https://lnkd.in/dEGAUgKA

At a certain point, monoliths start to crumble. That being said, microservices aren't always the right solution: https://lnkd.in/grdXYqRK

Monoliths or microservices? When starting out, why microservices can wait: https://lnkd.in/gBstEDM3

That was quick! 957 ? on Github... Just 43 away from 1k - last chance to be in the first 3 digits ?? https://lnkd.in/gj4DuJ2f

The trouble with __all__ As a Python dev, it's frustrated me that _all__ let's you define public interfaces, but does nothing to enforce them. Diving deeper into this problem led to me writing my first hook on __import__ - read more below! https://lnkd.in/eqyU5VCe

Had an incredible time presenting at launch live yesterday with Evan Doyle and Garry Tan! If you're a Python developer, check us out at Gauge (YC S24)

?? one of the most common use cases we see with Tach is to enforce isolation - Here's how to do it: https://lnkd.in/ggDiwNNP

Gauge (YC S24) is building open source developer tools to solve the microservices/monolith dilemma, allowing you to maintain velocity as your team scales. As startups grow, code quality takes a back seat to velocity, leading to code sprawl and tightly coupled services. Once companies reach this stage, they often reach for microservices. However, this introduces a whole new world of complexity that can stymie even the most competent of teams. Gauge is starting with tooling that allows you to separate your monolith into independent modules with well-defined interfaces. They’ve built visualization tools and test suite acceleration features and currently have over 100k downloads/500 stars on GitHub. Caelean Barnes and Evan Doyle first met as roommates in college, and in the decade since, they’ve taken on multiple founding engineering roles and helped several startups go from 0 to 1. At every startup, they ran into the microservices/monolith dilemma as the team and codebase scaled. They’re building the tools that they always wished they had. Check out their first tool, Tach, at https://lnkd.in/g68FM4AM. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gMmw65JX
