  • mc-hetzner

    Deploy a Minecraft PaperMC server on Hetzner using Terraform and Ansible.

    Ansible was probably the right choice. I run a Minecraft server on a Hetzner VPS and I use Terraform to provision and Ansible to configure. GitHub link.

  • pyinfra

    pyinfra automates infrastructure using Python. It’s fast and scales from one server to thousands. Great for ad-hoc command execution, service deployment, configuration management and more.

    I’ve replaced Ansible with PyInfra where ever possible. https://pyinfra.com/ is very clean, and fast but lacks the shear amount of automation that can be found with Ansible.

  • 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.
