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.
Projects with huge community interest like actix-web do not just disappear. The main repo has 1.2k forks. Even if this were a solo project (it isn't) and the maintainer vanished from the Earth (they didn't), one of those forks would still be maintained. This is very common in open source. When the maintainer of dirs had some similar tantrum, people forked the crate and started publishing dirs-next, and now crate dirs is maintained again. Even my silly little ls implementation was forked and patched when it stopped building on the lastest nightly.
