  • 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.

  • btop

    A monitor of resources

    The latest rewrite (by the same dev) of bashtop is Btop++. Bpytop was in between them. Btop++ is written in C++ and seems to be way lighter. In my tests it uses a similar amount of resources as hop, while giving more info.

  • bottom

    Yet another cross-platform graphical process/system monitor.

  • ctop

    Top-like interface for container metrics

    ctop is fucking amazing for anyone who deals with docker and containers.

  • 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.
