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

    Dependency Manager for PHP

  • Include still exists, but with composer and the Autoloader, it's not really used anymore. We've got namespaces now which means you can scope functions, constants and classes to that namespace. All the issues related to error reporting aren't problems any more, including the addition of finally in exception handling.

  • Slim Framework

    Slim is a PHP micro framework that helps you quickly write simple yet powerful web applications and APIs. (by slimphp)

  • Switched from Python to PHP and now using Slim. Very happy with the move so far.

  • 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.
