Introduction
Hello everyone! Q2 2026 has been intense for SourceHut. Despite significant technical challenges, the team has managed to innovate and lay the groundwork for upcoming key features. In this article, we'll dive into the details of what has been achieved and what's in the pipeline.
Drew DeVault's Update
Drew DeVault has dedicated most of his time to "invisible" yet crucial tasks for SourceHut. This includes preparing a grant proposal, in partnership with other open source forges, to secure funding from the EU. Results are expected next quarter. Meanwhile, Drew has been handling code reviews, fixing minor bugs, and ensuring user support.
A priority for Drew is enhancing the GraphQL APIs. Led by Simon Martin, efforts are underway to standardize and streamline API designs, including support for the connections specification for resource enumeration. These improvements will enable the introduction of long-awaited features, such as linking resource pages (like git repos) back to projects on the project hub.
Managing DDoS Attacks by Conrad Hoffmann
Conrad Hoffmann faced targeted DDoS attacks, disrupting network traffic. Fortunately, these attacks helped identify and fix vulnerabilities in internal traffic routing. With these corrections, the remaining requests successfully reached the servers.
Upcoming Improvements
Among the planned improvements, Drew aims to finalize the migration to the EU billing system. This will simplify subscription management for European customers. Additionally, efforts are in progress to enable anonymous API access, paving the way for more flexible integrations.
Conclusion
SourceHut continues to adapt and strengthen itself in the face of challenges. Efforts to improve APIs and resource management are crucial steps forward. Let's discuss your project in 15 minutes.
