    Postgres DELETE can actually scale

    Postgres DELETE operations have a poor reputation for performance, but the article demonstrates they can scale effectively with proper optimization. The key challenge isn't deleting workflows themselves, but managing the cascading deletions of associated data across multiple tables and handling the MVCC (multi-version concurrency control) overhead that creates dead tuples requiring vacuum cleanup. By understanding Postgres's internal deletion mechanism and optimizing cache and index performance, DELETE can be used reliably in high-throughput systems processing tens of thousands of workflows per second.

    Show HN: The coordination and durability layer for multi-agents

    CellaFlow is a coordination and durability layer for multi-agent AI systems that prevents duplicate actions, token waste, and side effects when multiple agents access the same resources concurrently or after crashes. It uses idempotency scoping, deterministic caching, and durable execution replay with RocksDB to ensure only one agent executes an action while others receive the result, eliminating redundant API calls and payment duplication.

    Sriti Core – Local-first LLM router that cascades Ollama to cloud to frontier

    Sriti Core is an open-source intelligent routing proxy for LLMs that cascades requests through local models (Ollama), cost-effective cloud providers, and frontier models only when needed. It uses task classification, semantic caching, quality gates, and reliability learning to reduce cloud API costs while maintaining latency SLOs.

    iOS and macOS CI benchmark: Avrea is 3-23x faster than GitHub Actions

    Avrea, a macOS CI service, benchmarks 3-23x faster than GitHub Actions for iOS and macOS builds by using Apple M5 Max machines with three caching layers: Xcode compilation cache, Tuist module cache, and Swift package registry. Testing on open-source apps like Firefox and Mastodon shows significant speedups, with performance gains driven by superior hardware and intelligent caching strategies.
