Oxide: The Cloud Computer

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

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

    A lightweight, memory-protected, message-passing kernel for deeply embedded systems.

  • With respect to Hubris, the build badge was, in turns out, pointing to a stale workflow. (That is, the build was succeeding, but the build badge was busted.) This comment has been immortalized in the fix.[0]

    With respect to Humility, I am going to resist the temptation of pointing out why one of those directories has a different nomenclature with respect to its delimiter -- and just leave it at this: if you really want to find some filthy code in Humility, you can do much, much better than that!

  • cio

    Rust libraries for APIs needed by our automated CIO. (by oxidecomputer)

  • 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.

  • third-party-api-clients

    A place for keeping all our generated third party API clients.

  • I agree. I stole some of their stuff from here https://github.com/oxidecomputer/third-party-api-clients/tre... when I needed a SendGrid integration. High quality code and proper use of Rust types.

  • omicron

    Omicron: Oxide control plane

  • > I think the question is how well they can do the management plane.

    Docs:

    * https://docs.oxide.computer/api/guides/responses

    See perhaps "This repo houses the work-in-progress Oxide Rack control plane."

    * https://github.com/oxidecomputer/omicron

  • terraform-provider-oxide

    Oxide Terraform provider

  • play.core

  • They are very fun to make as well! I've built my own mini-lib on top of this ASCII rendering library (https://github.com/ertdfgcvb/play.core).

    I design them in Monodraw, pass it through a janky converter I wrote that converts text into a json grid of characters. I then render a number of layers that get combined, which is a mix of the static art layer, and others generated from functions that spit out a similar cell based frame.

    If you're interested:

  • console

    Oxide Web Console (by oxidecomputer)

  • VPS providers are nice, but they don't provide the same cloud-level capabilities that Oxide offers. Check out the console to get an idea of what I mean (this is a demo with mock data): https://oxide-console-preview.vercel.app/

  • 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.

  • manifold-api

    Manifold API Client Bindings

  • We do have a Terraform plugin in active development. It's good enough that I use it every day, but in fairness it isn't released yet.

    Our API is also under active development, but it is open source today:

    https://github.com/SoftIron/hypercloud-api

    Go bindings included, other languages are under discussion.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
