Hivekit is the company blog at hivekit.io, writing about ai and data. Since 2022, 7 different Hacker News readers have linked it 49 times, most often “We've saved 98% in cloud costs by writing our own database”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-10-05, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Posts on software architecture, including a 'mesolithic' take on code boundaries as an alternative to microservices or monoliths, plus pieces on on-premise offerings and AI. Cited in discussion threads.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Unlock your mine's full potential with full visibility, AI-assisted planning, and real-time control in one connected platform.

What Hacker News says?
we're actually working on a practical implementation of aspects of what Fei-Fei describes - although with a more narrow focus on optimizing operations in the physical space (mining, energy, defense etc) https://hivekit.io/about/our-vision/

HN discussionI think you're right to be skeptical that microservices are required in order to stop code becoming spaghetti. I think of it as all about what kind of boundaries you choose to put in your code and where. https://hivekit.io/blog/mesolithic-architecture/ The blog calls it 'mesolithic' architecture, but I almost wonder if 'gabion' architecture might be better - separate small rocks held together by a metal frame, formi…

HN discussionI'm a bit annoyed :-). We're building a platform ( https://hivekit.io/ ) that lets you visualize, coordinate and automate operations in the physical world (on mines, construction sites, cities etc.). When I first started talking and writing about it, I described what we did as spatial computing because - well - its computing stuff in a spatial sense. I even went further, suggesting that the patterns that emerge from…

HN discussionBuilding a platform for spatially aware communication and coordination seems pretty valuable. But it seems pretty unrelated to AI. Their only other blogpost is also a vacuous AI buzz piece. I can only guess that someone not involved with the product has decided that putting out AI-related content for non-technical audiences is a good way to build brand awareness right now? https://hivekit.io/blog/
