  • cfssl

    CFSSL: Cloudflare's PKI and TLS toolkit

    A few off the top of my head are cfssl (A tool for generate and managing certificates, by Cloudflare) and age which is a file encryption tool sort-of meant to replace gpg.

  • age

    A simple, modern and secure encryption tool (and Go library) with small explicit keys, no config options, and UNIX-style composability.

  • 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.

  • fynedesk

    A full desktop environment for Linux/Unix using Fyne

    The thing is with go is it's kind of made for web applications. It's made by google for google. Taking a look at the standard library you can see the most fleshed out parts are for general system access, networking and particularly http, and crypto. People have obviously made things outside of those scopes like fynedesk, but that's where the focus of golang is.

  • covid-alert-server

    Discontinued Exposure Notification: Diagnosis Server implementation / Notification d’exposition : Mise en œuvre du serveur de diagnostic

  • cobra

    A Commander for modern Go CLI interactions

  • poetry2nix

    Convert poetry projects to nix automagically [maintainer=@adisbladis]

    There's also Nix which solves these kinds of issues (for python poetry2nix works really great), but drawback is that it is a steep learning curve.

  • DnsControl

    Infrastructure as code for DNS!

    DNSControl lets you treat DNS-as-code and push out changes to several DNS providers. Want to switch providers? With DNSControl it's easy.

  • 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.
