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.
Following optimization, tools like UPX can compress the resulting binary, significantly reducing file size. This compression is invaluable for resource-constrained environments but adds a decompression step during binary execution.
Binary optimization is an art that strikes a balance between performance gains and potential drawbacks. In Go, this is often achieved using a series of compiler and linker flags, followed by binary compression. These processes can dramatically impact the size and speed of Go applications but require a nuanced understanding to apply effectively.
