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

    Mirror of the official PostgreSQL GIT repository. Note that this is just a *mirror* - we don't work with pull requests on github. To contribute, please see https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Submitting_a_Patch

  • PostgreSQL, on the other hand, is a database server that securely stores data. It can also handle a variety of workloads from small applications to large web applications with many concurrent users. This makes it ideal as a production database.

  • Phusion Passenger

    A fast and robust web server and application server for Ruby, Python and Node.js

  • While there is a debate on which ones are the best, we will be using Passenger and Nginx, since they are both fast and reliable. You may wish to do your own research and see which one works for you.

  • 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.

  • rubygems

    Library packaging and distribution for Ruby.

  • For any gems in your Rails application you should run bundle install which will go to rubygems.org and find the latest version of the gems, if the Gemfile allows it to update.

  • git

    A fork of Git containing Windows-specific patches. (by git-for-windows)

  • According to git-scm.com, which manages Git, it is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.
