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

    Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve infrastructure. It is a source-available tool that codifies APIs into declarative configuration files that can be shared amongst team members, treated as code, edited, reviewed, and versioned.

  • Terraform - Used to build and maintain cloud infrastructure. The infrastructure to run a modern online game is impressively complex.

  • scala

    Scala 2 compiler and standard library. Bugs at https://github.com/scala/bug; Scala 3 at https://github.com/scala/scala3

  • Scala - Popular in the data-science world, particularly when working with distributed data processing (e.g. Spark). Lots of large companies have dedicated data teams that process the huge amount of analytics and other data the games produce.

  • 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.

  • CPython

    The Python programming language

  • Python - Useful all around. Used for everything from one-off scripts, automation, backend servers. Can even be embedded as a scripting language.

  • Lua

    Lua is a powerful, efficient, lightweight, embeddable scripting language. It supports procedural programming, object-oriented programming, functional programming, data-driven programming, and data description.

  • Lua - Very popular embedded scripting language.

  • kotlin

    The Kotlin Programming Language.

  • Kotlin - The primary language for Android, but also with Kotlin/Native starting to make its way onto other platforms including the browser, iOS, and PCs. This is one of my new favorites.

  • 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.
