build hyper-scale applications with hyper services
A long time ago, way before hyper, we may have contributed to codebases that may have turned into a big pile of 💩. As new features were attempted, unintentional technical debt and complexity increased. Our product slowly became intertwined and deeply coupled with the underlying services. We sacrificed quality to deadline pressure. Our developer happiness turned into frustration 🤯 and developer retention suffered. Adding developers and site reliability engineers frankly didn't solve the problem. Maybe this sounds familiar to you....
This month we are launching the beta of our hyper cloud service. We have incorporated all five services into the cloud platform. Data, Cache, Search, Storage, and Queue. The hyper-cloud platform enables development teams to focus on the business rules of their application and not have to worry about managing core services. hyper provides an API between your application and the cloud-managed services so you are not ever locked into a particular service. But more importantly, it creates a set of constraints to empower the development to apply their business logic in the application tier and not in the service layer. This leads to high productivity cycles when producing high-quality software.
Also, this month we will be launching a Fractional CTO service where we provide oversight, vision, and accountability for startups working with remote development teams.
Last week, we launched the search service in the hyper cloud and it is working great, now you can have a database, cache, and search service up and running in just a few minutes with a click of a button. https://blog.hyper.io/hyper-enhancements/
The hyper service gives your apps secure, reliable, and scalable backend services. For more information check out https://docs.hyper.io/cloud
hyper is a single API that provides access to primitive services that applications use. This week we launched the cache service. It allows applications to leverage cache functionality for their applications as fast as clicking a button. Check out our What's New Page. https://docs.hyper.io/cloud/whats-new
It was a lot of work in June we onboarded a technical architect and in May we onboarded a product architect. We built a scalable multi-tenant architecture for the hyper open-source project that provides a saas portal for easy infrastructure management. Then we cut back all of the features to the bare minimum to allow developers to access the platform. We still have some polish the next two weeks, but we will launch the developer preview, which will allow developers to spin up a hyper data service for free and start building their apps.
Hired a design team to create some new art and layout for the hyper site. It was worth the expense, the design is fantastic and it gives everyone a great first impression of the hyper service. Good design just makes you and your team feel good about the product you are building. Take the time or spend the money to get a good design that is inspired by your mission and vision.
How did we accomplish this?
- purchased hyper.io domain
- contracted design firm to design the site
- implemented design using SvelteKit and hyper
- deployed to render.com
What was the result?
We received 1.2k views in May, and the reviews were great!
Got a small contract to setup an hyper63 infrastructure to support a data analytic project. This project is to pull from several marketing api's for a set periodic interval to aggregate the ad performance data into a central data warehouse in which a dashboard can be leveraged to see this information in a comprehensive view. The build out involved using AWS Services to create a solid and secure database and application infrastructure. As well as create a pattern for building ETL jobs to submit to the data warehouse, using hyper63 as service layer.
This project also proves hyper63's flexibility to function in the data analytic space for scalability.

@twilson63 Hi Tom, I can help out. Please email me on mmdesignsldn@hotmail.com to discuss further. Thank you.
December was a big month, not only did we get clients, but we wer e able to improve the code base into a more modular approach. hyper63 leverages the ports and adapters pattern where each service has a specification known as a port. The job of this module is to make sure any adapter that is being used for a given service implements the specified functions and takes the specified arguments and returns the specified values. By specifying the interface, each implementation has well defined input and output so hyper63 is able to support many different adapters for any given service and properly handle the transaction from input to the adapter to output. We also enhanced the app interface so that it can be abstracted, and built a GraphQL frontend along with the REST frontend.
Overall, the product really started to take shape in December and the three engagements are really helping push the core product internals forward.
In December, I was able to sign two service contracts to build custom apis and apps that use hyper63 under the hood, once complete they will license hyper63 to drive their products. This was a great partnership, because it has allowed me to test the design constraints of hyper63 against two different use cases.
One contract is a custom api distributing potential leads for a given service to service providers that can bid on the lead by a set of parameters.
The other contract is a search management process that enables a chat bot to create highly accurate answers to questions regarding specific entities, by crawling the entities web site and creating structured documents for an intelligent search service.
Both of these clients have very different needs and being able to craft solutions for them using hyper63 as the foundation has proven to be a rapid and high quality experience.
