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

    Stack trace visualizer

  • Using the perf utility alongside this flamegraph visualizer is my bread and butter for figuring out performance bottlenecks. Mind you I tend to work on pretty barebones C/C++ projects so you might need something more heavyweight.

  • optick

    C++ Profiler For Games

  • As a free alternative, I've had multiple people recommend Optick, but I haven't had the chance to play around with it yet, so I can't vouch for it myself.

  • 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.
