  • salt-exporter

    Salt Prometheus exporter working out of the box without any configuration on Salt side. Comes with an event watcher TUI.

  • Repository

  • msgpack

    MessagePack is an extremely efficient object serialization library. It's like JSON, but very fast and small.

  • I also read that Salt was using MessagePack to format their messages. MessagePack is a format like JSON, but more compact.

  • 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.

  • mqtt-exporter

    Simple generic MQTT Prometheus exporter for IoT working out of the box

  • This is something I was lucky to experience with my previous open-source project (mqtt-exporter) which reinforced my wish to continue on the Open Source journey.

  • go

    The Go programming language

  • There is also another thing I really enjoy doing: writing code. For the past 7 years I have been writing Python code, before that it was C++/C# and Java. But a couple of years ago, I found a new language to play with: Golang. I may repeat myself in the adjectives, but Go is elegant, easy to learn and quite powerful.

  • SaltStack

    Software to automate the management and configuration of any infrastructure or application at scale. Get access to the Salt software package repository here:

  • In the new style, when the tag is longer than 20 characters, an end of tag string is appended to the tag given by the string constant TAGEND, that is, two line feeds '\n\n'. When the tag is less than 20 characters then the tag is padded with pipes "|" out to 20 characters as before. When the tag is exactly 20 characters no padded is done. source: https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/utils/event.py

  • 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.
