  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • supabase

    The open source Firebase alternative.

  • Database reads are expensive and slow. There's a multitude of other reasons why caching is essential, but for the project I'm working on I'm using supabase and their free tier supports only a limited amount of bandwidth. To avoid any rate-limiting I added a Redis layer in front of it to reduce the number of queries that hit the database directly.

  • Redis

    Redis is an in-memory database that persists on disk. The data model is key-value, but many different kind of values are supported: Strings, Lists, Sets, Sorted Sets, Hashes, Streams, HyperLogLogs, Bitmaps.

  • Express

    Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for node.

  • Though any traditional server environment will enable this, I used Node as it's close to Deno and simple to use. With a few lines of code, an express server that creates a single client on start will enable any incoming request to reuse the same connection. Adding some simple routing to detect request params and respond with what Redis returns then lets allows the cache requests in Deno to be swapped with GET requests to this server.

  • deno

    A modern runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript.

  • import { connect } from "https://deno.land/x/redis/mod.ts"; const redis = await connect({ hostname, port }); let cachedResult = await redis.get(query); let result = cachedResult; if (!cachedResult) { result = db.get(query); await redis.set(query, result); } return result;

  • deploy_feedback

    For reporting issues with Deno Deploy

  • I've been really enjoying Deno for personal projects! The developer experience is excellent and Deno Deploy makes it easy to quickly & easily get things deployed.

  • 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.
