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

    The compiler for ReScript.

  • I wasn't familiar with this before. Thanks for being it to my attention! https://rescript-lang.org/

  • bsb-native

    Build system for OCaml/Reason

  • This in fact already existed when ReScript was still called BuckleScript: bsb-native.

  • 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.

  • reprocessing

    ReasonML graphics library inspired by Processing

  • The only user of it AFAIK was reprocessing, which enabled truly cross-platform (web, iOS, Android, Desktop) game development, but they only support the web target nowadays. The switch to the ReScript brand (and parser) also meant to get rid of all the bloat it inherited from OCaml but that is useless for the JS target. ReScript tries to do one thing great instead of two things half-assed.

  • hyperswitch

    An open source payments switch written in Rust to make payments fast, reliable and affordable

  • bun

    Incredibly fast JavaScript runtime, bundler, test runner, and package manager – all in one

  • You could try running the current code in bun.sh instead of `node` or `deno` and check out how many concurrent requests it can process. You should have perf improvements right out of the box.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
