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 experimented with geospatial Hilbert Curves as a Postgres extension [0] for PostGIS using the S2 [1] spherical geometry library. S2 uses a scale free cell coverage pattern that is numbered using six interlocking space filling Hilbert Curves [2].
By having both high level (cell) and low level (cell id) geometries it was a very powerful library which allowed projection from the hilbert space into a Postgres spatial index (spgist) including various trees, like noted in this article. It appears to be still quite active in development.
