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.
Roslyn is the name of the C# (and VB) compiler, which is developed primarily by Microsoft as an open source project. The platform has been the default C# compiler since Visual Studio 2015 and is actually written in C# itself — in contrast to the first generation of C# compiler which was written in C++.
Using their own APIs, Roslyn Analyzers verifies certain conditions about the source code and, if necessary, feeds back into the compiler in the form of compilation warnings and errors. An example would be StyleCop.
