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

    Golang PDF library for creating and processing PDF files (pure go)

    With some googling I found "UniDoc - Comprehensive PDF & Office libraries in pure Go | UniDoc" https://unidoc.io

  • excelize

    Go language library for reading and writing Microsoft Excel™ (XLAM / XLSM / XLSX / XLTM / XLTX) spreadsheets

    You’re unlikely to find a single package that will handle all these file types without being behind a paywall of some sort. And I haven’t extensively worked with any of the other file types you’ve mentioned, but for xlsx, I highly recommend this package

  • 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.
