Nimbus gives software engineering teams x-ray vision into distributed systems to detect breaking changes before they reach production

https://nimbusai.dev
Transform PR reviews from risk-hunting to impact verification.

Your bot should be able to say:
"⚠️ Breaks 3 services: Driver-App, Notifications, Dashboard. Don't merge."

No surprises. No context-switching.

The future? AI auto-fixes these breakages.

Solution: "Push" not "pull".

Give AI a system graph - a live map of your architecture.

PR changes API → Query: "What breaks?"

Answer in milliseconds. Deterministic.

Real example: Slack's 2022 outage.

Health check restart → Cache flush → DB overload → Total failure

No dev could've predicted this cascade. This is a classic "unknown unknown" that PR review misses.

Root cause: Local context blindness.

AI agents "pull" info - decide what to find, when to stop looking - but they're never sure they found everything, and "mostly correct" isn't enough.

Result:
❌ Incomplete analysis
❌ Hallucinations
❌ Missed dependencies

The teams that get this right are building systems that actually leverage cloud power - more resilient, faster to develop, and cheaper to run.

"Order received! We'll email you when it ships" beats a 10-second loading spinner, every time. #SystemDesign

Pro tip: Stop thinking in functions, start thinking in domains. 🎯

Your "Ordering" service should own:
🔗 Order API endpoints
🔄 Background processing workers
🗄️ Order database tables
🔔 Order-related events

One business capability = one service boundary.

"But users need immediate responses!"

Do they?

Or do they need acknowledgment? 🤔 #systemarchitecture

The cloud gives you incredible async primitives:

📨 SQS queues for decoupling
🕺 EventBridge for choreography
🪭 SNS for fan-out patterns
🎶 Step Functions for orchestration

However, we keep building REST APIs that block and wait. 🤦‍♂️

The telltale signs:

⛓️ Service A calls Service B calls Service C in a chain
✖️ One slow function kills the entire API response
🎱 You're debugging "Lambda pinball" at 2 AM
🧊 Cold starts hurt because everything's synchronous

The issue: You're using monolithic thinking patterns for distributed systems.

🔍 Here's what nobody talks about: You can't fix what you can't see! Before implementing these patterns, you need visibility into:
- Which services actually talk to each other
- Where the risky synchronous calls hide
- What data clients really consume

Three battle-tested patterns to save your sanity:
1️⃣ Saga Pattern: Coordinated local transactions with compensating actions.
2️⃣ Circuit Breaker: Fail fast when services struggle, prevent domino effects.
3️⃣ API Gateway/BFF: Stop your frontend from making 47 different API calls!

What's coming next:
💥 Impact Analysis to catch breaking changes early
📈 Better preserving links across version updates
🐍 Python support starting with Flask

Every feature we build follows one principle: catch problems earlier when they're easier and cheaper to fix! Try Nimbus today: nimbusai.dev

Design principles that reduce cognitive burden:
- 🔍 Progressive disclosure: Reveal information gradually
- 🗺️ Natural mental models: Align with how developers think
- 🔁. Consistent patterns: Apply existing knowledge
- 🌿 Context preservation: Maintain focus across activities

⚠️ The problem: Today's development environments create unique cognitive challenges.

Developers regularly context-switch & building a single feature requires understanding:
- 🏗️ Service boundaries
- 💾 Database schemas
- 🔌 API contracts
- 🔒 Security implications
