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.
I agree with you on the numbers game - numbers are to be read with care. For example, the Rust crates.io ecosystem has multiple forks of an async tls crate, just for the reason that someone built it, but couldn't stomach the maintenance. Rust also has a tendency to break larger libraries into small ones aggressively. And, because it's the central repository, whole ecosystems get published there (I know a company that publishes ~2000 crates, which are not practical for individual use.)
There are still many interesting projects in https://github.com/ohenley/awesome-ada and other sources, which are not indexed by Alire, so there is room for improvement.
