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.
I don't know about your experiences, but systemd is leaking preconceived notions and self-imposed limitations like a broken sieve where one is left to sift manually through documentation and bug-reports, collecting and evaluating rules, exceptions and idiosyncratic notions to determine whether systemd will do what one wants.
Latest example: I have a service I want running, so I set it to Restart=always. Read the long Restart= documentations - seems ok. Does it work?
Failure 1: Well.. you also need appropriate RestartSec/StartLimitInterval. Ok, I I set it up. Does it work?
Failure 2: Well.. restart doesn't actually apply to failed dependencies, so .. don't have dependencies that fail, ok? That's not a bug. [1][2]

People who want to use it can use it.
I am thankful for the non-systemd distributions, which are listed at https://nosystemd.org ; just scroll down to the list if you want to skip the advocacy.
