  • fpm

    Effing package management! Build packages for multiple platforms (deb, rpm, etc) with great ease and sanity.

    • A few years ago I jumped on the fpm train. You might need to couple it up with some scripts, but it greatly simplifies things.

  • osc

    The Command Line Interface to work with an Open Build Service (by openSUSE)

    • Suse's OBS is another option, and there are likely others...

  • 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.
