    FlatBuffers: Memory Efficient Serialization Library

    Protobuf uses it's own serialization format for representing variable integers and also keeps metadata for the field numbers. It also requires non trivial serialization/deserialization code, the OP wants to achieve zero-copy. https://google.github.io/flatbuffers/ may be more close to that but personally I am not a fan of the current implementation for embedded.

  • 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.
