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.
I love the flourish of "in the world." I had never thought about it that way. Which makes me think if there are any regex engines that aren't in rebar that could conceivably by competitive with the top engines in rebar. I do maintained a WANTED list of engines[1], but none of them jump out to me except for maybe Nim's engine.
Of course, there's also the question of whether the benchmarks are representative enough to make such extrapolations. I don't have a good answer for that one. All models are wrong, but, some are useful.
