  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Vault

    A tool for secrets management, encryption as a service, and privileged access management

  • Everyone I push Vault to these days ends up loving it: BUT end up hating the ACL language along with the still present lack of official search functionality. It's a LITTLE technical for less "IT Focused" industries though; and the lack of a "fancy gui" has it's own issues.

  • yopass

    Secure sharing of secrets, passwords and files

  • Not seen it mentioned yet, so I figured I'd throw my suggestion in: Yopass! As someone with a preference for self-hosted solutions, this one really appeals to me.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • PrivateBin

    A minimalist, open source online pastebin where the server has zero knowledge of pasted data. Data is encrypted/decrypted in the browser using 256 bits AES.

  • My company has a branded instance of https://privatebin.info/ which I set up
