SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews. SaaSHub helps you find the best software and product alternatives
A curated list of awesome Go frameworks, libraries and software - Awesome Go / Golang (awesome-go.com)
However, it's very unlikely that .NET developers will directly expose their Kestrel-based web apps to the internet. Typically, we use other popular web servers like Nginx, Traefik, and Caddy to act as a reverse-proxy in front of Kestrel for various reasons:
Project mention: Fivefold Slower Compared to Go? Optimizing Rust's Protobuf Decoding Performance | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-12WriteRequest::timeseries is a vector (https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/blob/main/prompb/re...) and
Linux Mint with Cinnamon: https://www.linuxmint.com/ as far as desktop OSes go it's familiar (Ubuntu without snaps by default), whereas the UI feels both snappy, doesn't use too much resources and is actually pretty to look at.
MobaXTerm: https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ this one is a bit more Windows centric but I ended up paying for it and replaced mRemoteNg and PuTTY with it, it's even better than Remmina or whatever Linux has to offer - you can manage SSH/RDP/VNC/... sessions, input across multiple sessions side by side and it just simplifies things a lot (jump host support, a port forwarding too and so much more).
GitKraken: https://www.gitkraken.com/ also a piece of software that I paid for, this one actually makes using Git pleasant, feels better to use than SourceTree and Git Cola (even though that latter is wonderfully lightweight, too) and honestly I prefer that to the CLI nowadays.
Kanboard: https://kanboard.org/ is a lightweight Kanban project management tool, it might not have every feature under the sun but it's the most snappy project management tool I've ever used, looks simple and runs well. I honestly love it, what a nice thing to have.
Most modern text editors and IDEs: I personally pay for JetBrains IDEs but also like Visual Studio Code as a text editor and both have helped me immensely, they're reasonably performant when you have the RAM, look nice, often give you suggestions about how to improve your code and also have a plethora of plugins in their ecosystems. Nowadays I unapologetically use LLMs as well and overall it feels like I have these great tools and cool autocomplete (that is sometimes a bit silly and wrong) at my disposal, that makes me happy.
Kdenlive: https://kdenlive.org/ imagine if there was a successor to Windows Movie Maker, though something that gets most of the important stuff out of Sony Vegas, except is also completely free and works on most platforms. Kdenlive is all of that and also somehow quite pleasant to use, I actually prefer it to DaVinci resolve. There is a bit of a learning curve to any piece of software like this, but everything mostly makes sense in this one.
Gitea: https://about.gitea.com/ I still use this for my personal Git repositories and integrating with CI systems and it's lightweight, looks good and just feels pleasant to use. Previously I self-hosted GitLab and constantly ran into resource exhaustion as well as doubts about the next update is going to corrupt all of my data and break (it did), so now I use Gitea instead.
Drone CI: https://www.drone.io/ a container native CI solution that I can also self host. It's container oriented, integrates with Gitea nicely, is similarly nice to GitLab CI and doesn't cause me headaches like Jenkins would.
Docker: https://www.docker.com/ yes, even Docker desktop. It just makes working with containers really pleasant and predictable, even when something like Podman also exists (and also is great). I don't know, I feel like Docker really saved me from having brittle legacy environments, even self-contained containers with health checks and resource limits with still the same brittle code inside of those make me feel way more safe.
Project mention: A MySQL compatible database engine written in pure Go | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-09tidb has been around for a while, it is distributed, written in Go and Rust, and MySQL compatible. https://github.com/pingcap/tidb
Somewhat relatedly, StarRocks is also MySQL compatible, written in Java and C++, but it's tackling OLAP use-cases. https://github.com/StarRocks/starrocks
My understanding is woodpecker is a fork of drone. Seems like drone was replaced with https://gitness.com/ as the selfhostable version.
CockroachDB is an open source distributed SQL database designed for scalability and resilience. While it offers SQL databases, CockroachDB is also compatible with PostgreSQL.
Project mention: Russia has started indiscriminately blocking all OpenVPN/WireGuard connections | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-20Hey there! Lots of experience with this having lived in China for 2 years. I recommend you look into xray-core or v2ray.
https://github.com/v2fly/v2ray-core
https://github.com/XTLS/Xray-core
Here are my configs: https://github.com/acheong08/notes/tree/main/xray
Project mention: K6: A modern load testing tool, using Go and JavaScript | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-08
Project mention: Signing container images: Comparing Sigstore, Notary, and Docker Content Trust | dev.to | 2023-09-26Now that you know a little more about Cosign, Notary, and DCT, we will take it one step further by using one of these tools: Cosign. For this example, we will use the simple Docker registry:2 reference image to run a simple registry. In a real-world scenario, a managed registry such as Harbor, Amazon ECR, Docker Hub, etc.
Project mention: A Deep Dive Into Terraform Static Code Analysis Tools: Features and Comparisons | dev.to | 2024-04-16Trivy Owner/Maintainer: Aqua Security Age: First released on GitHub on May 7th, 2019 License: Apache License 2.0 backward-compatible with tfsec
Project mention: Reverse Engineering Protobuf Definitions from Compiled Binaries | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-09The reflection service is open-sourced (at least for some sdks):

Jaeger maps the flow of requests and data as they traverse a distributed system. These requests may make calls to multiple services, which may introduce their own delays or errors. https://www.jaegertracing.io/
And if you want to make the container quickly secure without bloats, maybe give this a try https://github.com/slimtoolkit/slim
Project mention: The 36 tools that SaaS can use to keep their product and data safe from criminal hackers (manual research) | /r/SaaS | 2023-05-22Nuclei
Project mention: Exploring 5 Docker Alternatives: Containerization Choices for 2024 | dev.to | 2024-03-18Containerd and nerdctl
The code above will create the argocd Kubernetes namespace and deploy the latest stable manifest. If you would like to install a specific manifest, have a look here.
Another option here, though it looks like releases have slowed considerably. https://github.com/wtfutil/wtf
