  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Caddy

    Fast and extensible multi-platform HTTP/1-2-3 web server with automatic HTTPS

  • I would also add that if the app or site that you run port 80 does not support HTTPS, you can fix that by putting a reverse proxy such as Caddy (https://caddyserver.com) in front of it (since Caddy and some others handles HTTPS>HTTP proxying and sorts the certificate out for you automatically).

  • ZeroTier

    A Smart Ethernet Switch for Earth

  • I use zerotier for my home and public servers' SSH access, which fulfils the role of a VPN without some of the downsides and is also pretty performant.

  • 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.
