Running Code-Intelligence Graphs on AWS with Alchemy

[Alchemy][alchemy] can provision four AWS compute models: Lambda, ECS, EKS, and EC2. The code-intelligence tools compared here are persistent, long-running indexers, so their natural deployment target is usually an ECS Service on Fargate, not Lambda.

Compatibility summary

| Project | Alchemy/AWS fit | Recommended runtime | Primary consideration |

Comparing Local Code-Intelligence Graphs for AI Coding Agents

Projects such as [Gortex][gortex], [Codebase Memory MCP][cbm], [GitNexus][gitnexus], and [Graphify][graphify] give coding agents a structured view of a repository instead of relying exclusively on file search and whole-file reads. They overlap substantially, but differ in language coverage, analysis depth, operational model, licensing, and published performance evidence.

This comparison uses project documentation and GitHub repository statistics

The "Planet Earth" feel on a 30-second product demo

A repeatable recipe for turning a plain screen recording into a short, narrated, scored demo: Attenborough-style British voice-over, a quiet cinematic bed underneath, frame holds so nothing feels rushed, and a total runtime of 20–30 seconds. Everything below is CLI-driven and free to use commercially.

Secrets Management Options (Open, Modern, Agentic-Ready)

This gist summarizes modern secrets-management options that are open, popular, and well‑maintained, with a bias toward agentic workflows (non‑interactive auth, short‑lived credentials, CLI/SDK‑first, auditability).

What “Agentic‑Ready” Means

• Non‑interactive auth (service accounts, OIDC) for CI/agents
• Short‑lived / dynamic secrets (rotation + revocation)
• CLI/SDK‑first so secrets can be injected on demand
• Auditability (who accessed what, when)

Blob Sync Engine: A Unified Sync Layer for Structured Data and Media

A proposal for an open-source sync engine that treats blobs (images, audio, video) as first-class citizens alongside structured data.

The Problem

Modern local-first applications need to sync two fundamentally different types of data:
