Global Presence; I made a thing

  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • global-presence

    The source code is here. It not exactly battle-tested, production-grade finely-tuned stuff, but it does some interesting things and it works. The relevant bits are mostly under app/lib, app/channels, and app/reflexes. Feel free to plagiarise it ruthlessly.

  • keydb

    KeyDB server on Fly (by fly-apps)

    The KeyDB setup I used was a customised version of this example helpfully provided by Fly.io, deployed in multiple regions alongside the app, with some modest storage volumes attached.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • KeyDB

    A Multithreaded Fork of Redis

    KeyDB is a fork of (everyone's favourite cache store) Redis, and it's messaging protocol and API is 100% compatible with Redis. What that means is you can just point any Redis client (like Hiredis or redis-rb) at a KeyDB instance, and it'll Just Work™️, with no changes required. The KeyDB selling points are: 1) multi-threading by default, and a lot of work was ploughed in to high performance around multi-threading in KeyDB, 2) compatible with all the features of regular Redis, 3) some advanced features which Redis only offers in it's paid/enterprise version are included for free in KeyDB, and the big one for me is multi-active replication, which is what I'm playing with here.

  • flyctl

    Command line tools for fly.io services

    I've been playing with Fly.io for a while and trying to get my head around it's implications for the general Web Dev landscape. If you haven't heard of it yet, it's a platform that allows deploying apps to multiple datacenters around the world, with Anycast DNS to automatically route incoming requests to the closest datacenter. Pretty edgy. Essentially it provides devs with a set of superpowers that were previously only available to large tech companies.

  • stimulus_reflex

    Build reactive applications with the Rails tooling you already know and love.

    CableReady is a powerful library for doing live DOM updates in Rails apps, and amongst many other things it enables pushing client-side DOM updates from the server-side. It's part of the StimulusReflex stack.
