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

    Define and run multi-container applications with Docker

    We use the docker compose addon to deploy containers (installation instructions - note that it comes bundled with Docker Desktop). On the desktop we use docker context's to allow deployment and management on remote machines, and a DOCKER_HOST environment variable to do so from our CI/CD pipeline (GitHub Actions). There is a nice article on the options here:

  • nginx-proxy

    Automated nginx proxy for Docker containers using docker-gen

    Then to make deployment super easy we're using nginx-proxy which uses docker-gen (and the acme-companion for automatic SSL cert generation) to automatically re-configure an nginx reverse proxy to point to your containers.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • docker-gen

    Generate files from docker container meta-data

    Then to make deployment super easy we're using nginx-proxy which uses docker-gen (and the acme-companion for automatic SSL cert generation) to automatically re-configure an nginx reverse proxy to point to your containers.

  • acme-companion

    Automated ACME SSL certificate generation for nginx-proxy

    Then to make deployment super easy we're using nginx-proxy which uses docker-gen (and the acme-companion for automatic SSL cert generation) to automatically re-configure an nginx reverse proxy to point to your containers.

  • watchtower

    A process for automating Docker container base image updates.

    I'd use watchtower https://containrrr.dev/watchtower/

  • 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.
