This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

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

    Cloud-native search engine for observability. An open-source alternative to Datadog, Elasticsearch, Loki, and Tempo.

  • - Another nice comment seen on HN « it seems to be very easy to run, not very IO intensive, and running fine on a single node with modest hardware with >2 billion log rows. It has a really cool dynamic schema feature too.» [9]

    Fun fact: at least 4 users are using Garage[10] as the object storage, this OSS project looks really promising and made the HN front page a few months ago[11], we really cherish the OSS for this kind of unexpected combination.

    Any feedback positive/negative always greatly appreciated here!
