  • sockv5er

    Tool to create ssh tunnels on demand using the free tier ec2 instances from AWS from any given region

    I had developed this tool (sockv5er) using which you can keep your internet traffic encrypted. It uses free AWS EC2 instances from your personal AWS account, so you don't have to pay. It will create the EC2 instances and delete it for you as well. I haven't been able to work on it for last few weeks. If you are interested in contributing, do let me know.

Feel free to chime in on any issue that looks interesting! https://github.com/terrastruct/d2

  • Rudderstack

    Privacy and Security focused Segment-alternative, in Golang and React

    Check out RudderStack, a Go project to build data pipeline. Our slack is quite active. The best way to contribute is by creating a new integration with your favorite tool.

  • Tyk

    Tyk Open Source API Gateway written in Go, supporting REST, GraphQL, TCP and gRPC protocols

    We're a friendly bunch at https://github.com/TykTechnologies/tyk - I'll gladly pick up onboarding contributors for some meaningful tasks, if you'd like to ease into it. Lots of tech debt to address, so it's more maintenance work, testing, introducing DDD, etc.
