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

    Simple, open source, lightweight (< 1 KB) and privacy-friendly web analytics alternative to Google Analytics.

  • Dear readers, if you are reading this article, it means you're looking for a way to measure the number of views of your website. You could easily use Google Analytics, even though it's free, but it's really hard to fully understand and use it. I decided to go with an alternative and I will try to explain why I chose Plausible Analytics.

  • community-edition

    Example docker-compose setups for hosting Plausible Community Edition (by plausible)

  • For this little project, we will use their up and running template that has everything we need to boot up our Plausible server.

  • 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.

  • Docker Compose

    Define and run multi-container applications with Docker

  • #!/bin/bash yum update -y amazon-linux-extras install -y docker service docker start usermod -a -G docker ec2-user chkconfig docker on curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/latest/download/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m) -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose reboot

  • terraform

    Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve infrastructure. It is a source-available tool that codifies APIs into declarative configuration files that can be shared amongst team members, treated as code, edited, reviewed, and versioned.

  • We're gonna use Terraform as our IaC (Infrastructure as Code) tool and we will deploy our infrastructure to AWS.

  • aws-node-termination-handler

    Gracefully handle EC2 instance shutdown within Kubernetes

  • Let's create now the EC2 instance where the web server will be launched into.

  • 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.
