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

    A dockerized Phoenix development and runtime environment.

  • To get Elixir running there I suffered for an hour or two until I found https://github.com/nicbet/docker-phoenix. I just SSH'd into the box, cloned that repo and followed the steps. Then I had a working app.

  • invoice_printer

    Super simple PDF invoicing

  • Yes. For example, I built a Ruby library https://github.com/strzibny/invoice_printer, and I made a server version that you run as a separate service. In Ruby, I consume the library directly, in Elixir I wrote a module that uses the service API (it's just one simple endpoint in this case). So if there is not good Elixir solution and writing one requires a lot of effort, small Ruby/Python services is one way to go about it.

  • 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.
