  • container-desktop

    Provides an alternative for Docker for Desktop on Windows using WSL2.

    • I would use this if you do not want docker desktop. https://container-desktop.io/

  • WSL

    Issues found on WSL

    • It's quite easy to pull off nowadays. Although I'd suggest not using systemd because it slows down WSL 2's start up time by a lot, it's a known bug https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/6765. I noticed when I opened my terminal it would hang for at least ~10 seconds very frequently.

  • 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.
