    Docker container lazy loading

    I have a bunch of containers on my synology nas (controlling/deploying them through Portainer). As it's not the strongest machine I found Lazytainer (https://github.com/vmorganp/Lazytainer) a while ago. It stops your container when it's not being accessed for a while and automatically starts it when someone tries to access it.

  • traefik-ondemand-plugin

    Discontinued Traefik plugin to scale containers on demand

    In the comments on the reddit-thread someone also mentioned Traefik Ondemand Plugin (https://github.com/acouvreur/traefik-ondemand-plugin) that does the same thing.

  • 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.

  • ContainerNursery

    Puts Docker Containers to sleep and wakes them back up when they're needed

    Container Nursery is another project with a similar idea.
