Show HN: BaaS to build agents as data, not code
Show HN (score: 5)Description
Julep is a backend-as-a-service to build agents and workflows. Main features:
1. Experimentation Velocity:
With most agent frameworks, agents are code that need to be deployed. To iterate on the prompts or update the agent, you need to make changes to the code and deploy it to your server. This makes agents hard to iterate on quickly. But with agents and tasks declared as data, all that happens in the background is make an api call to update or make a new entry in the database. This increases the experimentation velocity.
2. Scalability and long-running background tasks:
Scaling is a hard software engineering problem and the solution is to define large scale systems to be distributed, stateful and scalable. Agents as data is a very helpful paradigm because you have to solve for this problem only once at the orchestrator level. Julep can handle 100s of thousands of executions paralely.
3. Updating an agent / User Personalization:
Tools such as create agent, update agent etc. can update the agent recursively. Let’s assume an agent is chatting with a user and mentions that they only like to communicate in a professional tone. The agent can call a tool to 'update the agent' and modify/update the instructions to include that the user only likes to communicate in a professional tone.
This was the reason to create a backend when the market was flooded with agent frameworks. In Julep, you can declare a workflow in YAML, and it can automatically scale Millions of users.

Show HN: KeyEnv – CLI-first secrets manager for dev teams (Rust)
Show HN: KeyEnv – CLI-first secrets manager for dev teams (Rust) Hi HN,<p>I built KeyEnv because I was tired of the "can you Slack me the Stripe key?" workflow.<p><pre><code> The problem: My team's secrets lived in a mix of Slack DMs, shared Google Docs, and .env files that definitely weren't in .gitignore at some point. Enterprise tools like Vault required more DevOps time than we had. Doppler was close but felt heavier than we needed. What KeyEnv does: keyenv init # link project keyenv pull # sync secrets to local .env keyenv run -- npm start # inject secrets, run command That's basically it. Secrets are encrypted client-side (AES-256-GCM) before leaving your machine. Zero-knowledge architecture—we can't read your secrets even if we wanted to. Technical details: - Single Rust binary, no runtime dependencies - Works offline (cached secrets) - RBAC for teams (owner/admin/member/viewer) - Service tokens for CI/CD - Full audit trail Honest tradeoffs: - SaaS only, no self-hosted option - Fewer integrations than Doppler - If you need dynamic secrets or PKI, use Vault Pricing: Free tier (3 projects, 100 secrets), $12/user/month for teams. Would love feedback on the CLI UX and any rough edges. Happy to answer questions about the architecture. </code></pre> <a href="https://www.keyenv.dev" rel="nofollow">https://www.keyenv.dev</a>

Show HN: On the edge of Apple Silicon memory speeds
Show HN: On the edge of Apple Silicon memory speeds I have developed open source CLI-tool for Apple Silicon macOS. It measures memory speeds in different ways and also latency. It can achieve up to 96-97% efficiency on read speed on M4 base what is advertised as 120GB/s. All memory operations are in assembly.<p>I would really appreciate for results on different CPU's how benchmark works on those. I have been able to test this on M1 and M4.<p>command : 'memory_benchmark -non-cacheable -count 5 -output results.JSON' (close all applications before running)<p>This will generate JSON file where you find sections copy_gb_s, read_gb_s and write_gb_s statics.<p>Example M4 with 10 loops: "copy_gb_s": { "statistics": { "average": 106.65421233311835, "max": 106.70240696071005, "median": 106.65069297260811, "min": 106.6336774994254, "p90": 106.66606919223108, "p95": 106.68423807647056, "p99": 106.69877318386216, "stddev": 0.01930653530818627 }, "values": [ 106.70240696071005, 106.66203166240008, 106.64410802226159, 106.65831409449595, 106.64148106986977, 106.6482935780762, 106.63974821679058, 106.65896986001393, 106.6336774994254, 106.65309236714002 ] }, "read_gb_s": { "statistics": { "average": 115.83111228356601, "max": 116.11098114619033, "median": 115.84480882265643, "min": 115.56959026587722, "p90": 115.99667266786554, "p95": 116.05382690702793, "p99": 116.09955029835784, "stddev": 0.1768243167963439 }, "values": [ 115.79154681380165, 115.56959026587722, 115.60574235736468, 115.72112860271632, 115.72147129262802, 115.89807083151123, 115.95527337086908, 115.95334642887214, 115.98397172582945, 116.11098114619033 ] }, "write_gb_s": { "statistics": { "average": 65.55966046805113, "max": 65.59040040480241, "median": 65.55933583741347, "min": 65.50911885624045, "p90": 65.5840272860955, "p95": 65.58721384544896, "p99": 65.58976309293172, "stddev": 0.02388146120866979 },<p>Patterns benchmark also shows bit more of memory speeds. command: 'memory_benchmark -patterns -non-cacheable -count 5 -output patterns.JSON'<p>Example M4 from 100 loops: "sequential_forward": { "bandwidth": { "read_gb_s": { "statistics": { "average": 116.38363691482549, "max": 116.61212708384109, "median": 116.41264548721367, "min": 115.449510036971, "p90": 116.54143114134801, "p95": 116.57314206456576, "p99": 116.60095068065866, "stddev": 0.17026641589059727 } } } }<p>"strided_4096": { "bandwidth": { "read_gb_s": { "statistics": { "average": 26.460392735220456, "max": 27.7722419653915, "median": 26.457051473208285, "min": 25.519925729459107, "p90": 27.105171215736604, "p95": 27.190715938337473, "p99": 27.360449534513144, "stddev": 0.4730857335572576 } } } }<p>"random": { "bandwidth": { "read_gb_s": { "statistics": { "average": 26.71367836895143, "max": 26.966820487564327, "median": 26.69907406197067, "min": 26.49374804466308, "p90": 26.845236287807374, "p95": 26.882004355057887, "p99": 26.95742242818151, "stddev": 0.09600564296001704 } } } }<p>Thank you for reading :)
