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.
We see a few tools that do a similar built-on-top-of-Nix approach, so we released a Rust library that makes using the "command line API" in a more type-safe manner: https://github.com/flox/runix
For me, it's reproducibility and version control.
I started from using asdf [1] for managing golang, python and node. My main language is golang but often I need to run project from other language and different version especially python with packages have different version needed from pip i.e python 3.6 and python 3.8
I found about nix and it looks a good fit for my usecase because it not messing with PATH and not spawning container like docker but when I try to use it, I feel overwhelmed by it.
I use devbox now because it's easy to use but definitely will try flox. I welcome any tools that can help reduce nix complexity.
