Show HN: Clipper – The Fastest Container Registry

Category: infrastructure

Tags: container-registry, deduplication, performance

Score: 7.3/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 8, Documentation: 4, Utility: 7)

Clipper is a container registry that dramatically speeds up image pulls through chunk-level deduplication across layers, tags, and repositories, minimizing data transfer. It's particularly interesting for its focus on edge cases like slow or unstable networks (3G, DSL) and its claimed >80% faster patch pulls, making it valuable for robotics and machine learning workflows.

Target audience: devops, data engineers, ml-engineers
