About

FireHydrant is an incident management platform built to reduce the chaos and manual coordination that accompany production outages at engineering-driven organizations. When an incident is declared, FireHydrant automatically fires off runbooks that assign roles, create incident channels in Slack, page the right on-call engineers via PagerDuty or Opsgenie, and post status updates to internal and external status pages — all without requiring an incident commander to manually trigger each step. This automation compresses the time between incident detection and coordinated response, reducing mean time to acknowledge and the cognitive overhead of managing a live outage.

About

Bruno is an open-source API client and testing tool — a lightweight, offline-first, git-friendly alternative to Postman and Insomnia — enabling developers to explore, test, and document APIs with collections stored as plain-text Bru files in the project filesystem rather than in cloud-synced proprietary formats. Created by a solo founder in 2022 and growing to a 9-person team by late 2024, Bruno operates with an unusual philosophy: the founder publicly declined 8 venture capital offers to preserve product freedom and build toward profitability, with the core Bruno client remaining free and open-source (MIT license) while the Golden Edition provides enterprise features for commercial revenue. Pro and Ultimate paid editions launched in 2024.
