NGINX Ingress Controller
NGINX Ingress Controller for Kubernetes
ingress-nginx is an Ingress controller for Kubernetes using NGINX as a reverse proxy and load balancer. It is built around the Kubernetes Ingress resource, using a ConfigMap to store the NGINX configuration. The goal of this Ingress controller is the assembly of a configuration file (nginx.conf). The main implication of this requirement is the need to reload NGINX after any change in the configuration file. Though it is important to note that we don't reload Nginx on changes that impact only an upstream configuration (i.e Endpoints change when you deploy your app). We use lua-nginx-module to achieve this. Check below to learn more about how it's done. Usually, a Kubernetes Controller utilizes the synchronization loop pattern to check if the desired state in the controller is updated or a change is required. To this purpose, we need to build a model using different objects from the cluster, in particular (in no special order) Ingresses, Services, Endpoints, Secrets, and Configmaps. -

OSX-Optimizer
Optimize MacOS, Shell scripts to speed up your mac boot time
OSX-Optimizer is a collection of shell-based tweaks for macOS designed to speed up boot time, improve perceived performance, and reduce unnecessary background activity, especially in virtualized environments. The README emphasizes that macOS can be heavily modified using the defaults command, and many of the optimizations are simply well-chosen combinations of defaults and system utilities. It shows how to capture and compare system preferences before and after GUI changes (using defaults read and diff) so that users can understand which keys to automate. The script collection includes aggressive adjustments like skipping the GUI login screen, enabling performance mode via NVRAM flags, and disabling large wallpapers and visual effects to reduce graphical overhead. It also provides commands to disable Spotlight indexing system-wide, which can significantly speed up virtual machines where disk I/O is at a premium. -

Osquery is an operating system instrumentation framework for Windows, OS X (macOS), Linux, and FreeBSD. The tools make low-level operating system analytics and monitoring both performant and intuitive. Osquery exposes an operating system as a high-performance relational database. This allows you to write SQL queries to explore operating system data. With osquery, SQL tables represent abstract concepts such as running processes, loaded kernel modules, open network connections, browser plugins, hardware events or file hashes.Osquery queries your devices like a database. Osquery uses basic SQL commands to leverage a relational data-model to describe a device. Frequently, attackers will leave a malicious process running but delete the original binary on disk. This query returns any process whose original binary has been deleted, which could be an indicator of a suspicious process. -

Witr
witr exists to answer "Why is this running?"
witr (short for “Why is this running?”) is a cross-platform command-line utility designed to explain the origin and cause of running processes, services, or anything bound to a port. Traditional tools show what is running, but witr goes a step further by correlating that state across process supervisors, containers, or system services to build a narrative of why the item exists. It supports major operating systems including Linux, macOS, Windows, and FreeBSD, and produces human-readable output that succinctly shows the causal ancestry of a process (e.g., systemd → pm2 → node). witr aims to reduce the time it takes to diagnose processes, especially during debugging or outage investigations, by providing context that would otherwise require manual analysis across multiple tools. -

tapir
Declarative, type-safe web endpoints library
Declarative, type-safe web endpoints library. With tapir, you can describe HTTP API endpoints as immutable Scala values. Each endpoint can contain a number of input and output parameters. Compile-time guarantees, develop-time completions, read-time information. Separate the shape of the endpoint (the "what"), from the server logic (the "how"). Generate documentation from endpoint descriptions. Leverage the metadata to report rich metrics and tracing information. Re-use common endpoint definitions, as well as individual inputs/outputs. Library, not a framework, integrates with your stack. Is your company already using tapir? We're continually expanding the "adopters" section in the documentation; the more the merrier! It would be great to feature your company's logo, but in order to do that, we'll need to write permission to avoid any legal misunderstandings.
