  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS

  • distroless

    🥑 Language focused docker images, minus the operating system.

    Maybe you want to add distroless (https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless) and ubi8-micro (https://catalog.redhat.com/software/containers/ubi8-micro/601a84aadd19c7786c47c8ea) to the list of tiny base images. The first is used in many Kubernetes components, the later is Red Hat's option to use a tiny base layer and to be able to still get certified for OpenShift.

  • 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.
