    Discontinued A Scalable, User-Friendly Source Control System. [Moved to: https://github.com/facebook/sapling]

    Hm. I can see why they'd build some of these features, but there's some significant downsides. The VFS in particular will end up a poor experience when a transitory network problem makes pulling the code hang apps.

    On the build side.... holy jesus, are they really compiling 40 different dependencies from scratch every time they push code? This build has been running for 5 minutes and it's still just compiling dependencies: https://github.com/facebookexperimental/eden/runs/5997101905... Come on, ya'll. You're supposed to be the "advanced FAANG people". Cache some build deps, will ya?

  • VFSForGit

    Virtual File System for Git: Enable Git at Enterprise Scale

    Source Depot is what it was called. IIRC, Windows was moving to Git (through some virtual file system [0]) and had some major teams actively using it, but that was a while ago too.

  • 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.

  • scalar

    Scalar: A set of tools and extensions for Git to allow very large monorepos to run on Git without a virtualization layer (by microsoft)

  • jj

    A Git-compatible VCS that is both simple and powerful

    Coming from Darcs, Git has a horrible user interface. Something like Jujutsu has a chance to disrupt Git.

    It can use the Git data store, so developers can in theory start using it without the whole team adopting it. Then it addresses the big problem with Git, the user interface:

    I'm not suggesting that "jj" in particular will disrupt Git, but I think eventually the a tool which supports the git data store with a better user interface could take hold.

  • dvc

    🦉 ML Experiments and Data Management with Git

    Data can and should be versioned, but not by just `git add BLOAT`. Take a look at https://dvc.org/: blobs are uploaded to a S3 compatible blob storage, metadata is versioned in a config file and this one gets versioned in git

  • sturdy

    🐥 Sturdy is an open-source, real-time, version control platform for startups (https://getsturdy.com)

    I've been keeping an eye on Sturdy [1], a more performant, high level, and opinionated version control system. As a bonus, it seems to be compatible with Git.

  • Prophet

    Tool for producing high quality forecasts for time series data that has multiple seasonality with linear or non-linear growth.

  • 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.

  • God

    Ruby process monitor

    It's odd in the same way that Prophet and https://github.com/mojombo/god are. A bit grandiose or sacrilegious.
