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.
