  • SonarLint - Clean code begins in your IDE with SonarLint
  • Mergify - Updating dependencies is time-consuming.
  • InfluxDB - Collect and Analyze Billions of Data Points in Real Time
  • casync

    Content-Addressable Data Synchronization Tool

    Software that comes to mind for syncing lots of small files: git (and other source versioning tools), casync (https://github.com/systemd/casync) and a go implementation (https://github.com/folbricht/desync). Not really an answer and I can't think of a way to shoehorn that into your workflow, but maybe it leads you down a useful road.

  • Filestash

    🦄 A modern web client for SFTP, S3, FTP, WebDAV, Git, Minio, LDAP, CalDAV, CardDAV, Mysql, Backblaze, ...

    Sync seems to be the biggest issue and this doesn't solve for it, but have you looked at filestash ( https://www.filestash.app/)? It was built in part in response to nextcloud performance.

  • SonarLint

    Alternative casync implementation

  • spacedrive

    Spacedrive is an open source cross-platform file explorer, powered by a virtual distributed filesystem written in Rust.

    Spacedrive isn't a solution today but I'm holding out hope for it.

  • Check out https://github.com/fractalnetworsco/docker-plugin if you're looking for a Docker native volume driver with built in replication, powered by btrfs.

  • Mergify

    Updating dependencies is time-consuming.. Solutions like Dependabot or Renovate update but don't merge dependencies. You need to do it manually while it could be fully automated! Add a Merge Queue to your workflow and stop caring about PR management & merging. Try Mergify for free.
