Hey - could be a good use case for https://github.com/autokitteh/autokitteh - which gives you durable workflows over python. Since your logic is deterministic it's a simple python script that stores the history in memory, and autokitteh will take care of the persistancy aspect.

New comment by itayd in "Leash: Spreadsheet Based PagerDuty Alternative"

itayd — Thu, 23 Oct 2025 20:13:05 +0000

Leash – I built an incident management system in ~200 lines of Python, production ready.

Tired of paying per-user for PagerDuty? I built an open-source alternative that handles on-call rotation, escalation, and multi-channel alerts (Slack/Email/SMS).

Workflows that wait hours for responses survive restarts without needing message queues or state machines. And your team edits schedules directly in Google Sheets instead of clicking through admin UIs.

Show HN: Gocat – URL shortener using Google Sheets as a database

itayd — Wed, 22 Oct 2025 20:08:02 +0000

I built a simple go-links URL shortener that uses Google Sheets as its backend. No database, no admin UI – just edit URLs in a spreadsheet.

The entire thing is ~200 lines of Python. You get a webhook that redirects go/docs to whatever URL you mapped in your sheet. If multiple URLs match, it shows an HTML page with all options. Empty path redirects to the spreadsheet itself for quick editing.

It's built on AutoKitteh (which I also work on), which handles the webhook endpoints, Google Sheets integration, and synchronous HTTP responses. Deploy with make deploy and you're done – no servers, databases, or configuration needed.

Comes with a Chrome extension to make go/ links work directly in your browser.

Perfect for teams that want simple, customizable link shortening without the overhead of commercial services or the complexity of self-hosted solutions.

Yes, we're built more for people who want to build using code, so the UI is different. That said, our road plan includes more UI features.

You can also try https://github.com/autokitteh/autokitteh. Python based, completely open source. Got inter workflow storage as well

You actually don't need to self import these. Usually Safeway (is it only a west coast thing?) always have these stocked in the Kosher section.

hi - this is not a library. this is a platform that you upload vanilla python code to it and it makes it run in a durable manner.

Hey, author here. We love durable functions and the ease it provides for building stuff. We provide an OSS as well as SaaS "serverless" platform to easily get started with durable functions using vanilla python.

Please take a look as well at https://github.com/autokitteh/kittehub which is full of examples. Also you can use https://autokitteh.cloud for free with some limits.

Hiding is actually not the main thing here. AK allows you to "deploy in a click" instead of deploying the actual workers. We also provide integrations with built in authentication for external services such as Slack, JIRA, etc.

In previous life I've been self hosting Cadence and it worked quite well. We then moved to Temporal cloud which was even easier.

That said, if you use autokitteh.cloud, you don't need to worry about Temporal as we're doing all that management behind the scenes.
