  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • ocaml-containers

    A lightweight, modular standard library extension, string library, and interfaces to various libraries (unix, threads, etc.) BSD license.

  • For writing a self-contained library, people generally stick to stdlib (and occasionally some lightweight stdlib alternatives, e.g. containers - https://github.com/c-cube/ocaml-containers). Personally, I use containers a fair bit for libraries, but not as a full stdlib replacement.

  • 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.
