  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Previous Serverless Version 0.5.x

    ⚡ Serverless Framework – Use AWS Lambda and other managed cloud services to build apps that auto-scale, cost nothing when idle, and boast radically low maintenance.

    Reasoning about all the individual pieces of the application stack becomes harder when the infrastructure and the code are so separate. Serverless is a bit more new, and its tools still have room to evolve. That’s what we’re actively working on here at Serverless.com, anyway. 😉

    Production-Grade Container Scheduling and Management

    It’s even possible to operate containers with different software stacks throughout a large container fleet — especially interesting if you need to migrate an old, legacy system into a containerized environment. As an added bonus, many tools for managing large-scale container set-ups (like Kubernetes) come with all the best practices already baked in.

  • InfluxDB
