  • Vagrant

    Vagrant is a tool for building and distributing development environments.

  • To test this collection we use Vagrant and Virtualbox, but if you prefer you can also use your own VMs or your baremetal machines.

  • 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.
