Working on Fairvisor — a tool for API governance and usage control.

The problem: one buggy integration, scraper, or infinite retry loop can suddenly explode your API costs or overload infrastructure before anyone notices.

Fairvisor acts as a guardrail in front of your API:

per-tenant and per-route rate limits

request budgets and soft/hard caps

anomaly alerts for sudden spikes

The edge component is open source (OpenResty / Nginx + Lua) and the SaaS part provides policy management and audit.

Still early, validating whether teams would use something like this instead of building internal scripts.

Sorry if I trigger anyone's paranoia, but 1. who told you that it's not a state-backed attack? 2. and if 1 is true, who told it, it's not Russia staying behind it?

and if 2 is true, the KGB university alumni Kaspersky definitely is related to it.

does he get penalized if part of the dev team gets hired by another company, which makes it harder for him to hit the milestones?

Of course yes. The part of executive responsibility is to maintain the team and calculate the riscs .

Thanks!

I am probably not clear enough: he already uses some kind of this app, thank god it's covered by medical insurance in our country.

What I am searching for is something with chars to teach him literacy. I want him to type "I-C-E-C-R-E-A-M" instead of choosing "icecream" pictogram and make ipad pronounce it.
