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.
One feature of my NixOS installation is the use of the Impermanence module, combined with a tmpfs root mount in order to achieve opt-in state, where only the files and directories specified in the module are persisted to disk, reducing the accumulation of unwanted stateful changes to the system.
It appears this is an overarching issue with GRUB, as I have found the following issue in NixOS describing the same problem: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/94210
