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

    Fast and extensible multi-platform HTTP/1-2-3 web server with automatic HTTPS

  • I'm all for SQLite and I am a fan of the author of the project but for a webserver I have turned my back away from Nginx for https://caddyserver.com/ because of the simplicity.

    Caddy is just really awesome as a reverse proxy (2 line config!!) and I am in the processes of moving all my projects to it. It is fast enough as well since other things will be the bottle neck way before that.

  • FreeRTOS-Kernel

    FreeRTOS kernel files only, submoduled into https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS and various other repos.

  • Maybe that was true at some point, but it’s no longer true. FreeRTOS consists of a core of 6-7 .c files (some of which may be optional) plus 2-3 board support source files. See their GitHub mirror: https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS-Kernel

  • 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.

  • RecordFlux

    Formal specification and generation of verifiable binary parsers, message generators and protocol state machines

  • RecordFlux[0] is a DSL written in Ada for specifying messages in a binary protocol. Code for parsing these messages is then generated automatically with a number of useful properties automatically proven including that no runtime errors will occur.
