Show HN: I built a serverless data API builder – no storage, low latency

#1
Hey HN,

I'm Bo, cofounder of Fleak.ai. Over the past several months, our team has been hard at work developing Fleak, a data API backend builder, and we would love your feedback on what we've built so far.

What Fleak Does: Fleak simplifies the process of building and deploying API backends. It features a no-code IDE UI that lets you create workflows by chaining together steps such as native SQL transformations, calling LLM models, AWS Lambda functions, and more. With a single click, you can deploy these workflows to a production endpoint (during test, we are able to handle 5000 QPS without LLM node).

Key Features:

Native SQL Transformation: Work with SQL directly, without the need for a storage layer. Simplified Setup: No more cluster configuration and script juggling. Efficient Deployment: Streamlines the deployment cycle and reduces the need for constant monitoring. The inspiration for Fleak came from my frustration with maintaining production data pipelines, especially with the added complexity brought by LLMs. Fleak aims to simplify life for data practitioners.

Known restrictions: 1. not all SQL syntax is supported, we are adding daily 2. free version has rate limit due to cost 3. LLM node latency is not optimized due to cost, but our base rate limit is higher than out of box models and can be elastic.

Our codebase is meticulously maintained, though it's not open source yet as we're still considering which parts to release. You can check out Fleak at www.fleak.ai. We are hosting a small product feedback lunch on Stanford campus this thursday 8/8 1:30pm-2:30pm. Come join us! https://lu.ma/0beq21pd

We'd love to hear your thoughts:

Does this sound useful to you? What features would you like to see? Any advice on open-sourcing? Thanks!

What are the best use cases you have built?

The common use cases we found so far are two: data tagging see https://docs.fleak.ai/1.0/tutorials/sentiment-labeling and embedding pipeline into vector store, see: https://docs.fleak.ai/1.0/tutorials/pinecone-embedding

I'm just one person, and I'm probably not even the target demographic, but if you're taking feedback:

I full-on laughed out loud reading your landing page for the "old way"/"new way" comparison.

It reads, to me, like "old way: easy to follow, if cumbersome, flowchart", "new way: 4 separate abstract drawings that are actually impossible to follow and do not imply any specific process is occurring."

Obviously, I'm probably in the minority here. Just some food for thought, if you're interested in that kind of thing.

You’re not alone. I don’t get the contrast either.
