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.
Automation can help you get some of the way. You can build bots with GitHub Actions to be the first responders to new issues and pull requests. For example, I recently built this one for a developer champions program whenever someone submits a self-nomination for hero status in the program. Yet, you cannot rely on those automations exclusively. You will still need people for the follow-up and the relationship management in the repository.
It's the month of Hacktoberfest where thousands of people around the globe engage in open source projects. A lot of those folks will be first time open source contributors, and many others will be casual contributors to open source projects. It's a celebration of all things open source, so perhaps it's not a good time to talk about how open source is not always the answer? On the contrary, now is the perfect time.
