Amazon EKS Pod Identity Webhook
Amazon EKS Pod Identity Webhook
This webhook is for mutating pods that will require AWS IAM access. After version v0.3.0, --in-cluster=true no longer works and is deprecated. Please use --in-cluster=false and manage the cluster certificate with a cert-manager or some other external certificate provisioning system. This is because certificates using the legacy-unknown signer are no longer signed when using the v1 certificates API. Create an OIDC provider in IAM for your cluster. You can find the OIDC discovery endpoint by describing your EKS cluster. Create an IAM role for your pods and modify the trust policy to allow your pod's service account to use the role. All new pod pods launched using this Service Account will be modified to use IAM for pods. Below is an example pod spec with the environment variables and volume fields added by the webhook. To ensure workloads are scheduled on windows nodes have the right environment variables, they must have a nodeSelector targeting windows it must run on. -

Nomulus
Top-level domain name registry service on Google Cloud Platform
Nomulus is a production-grade, open-source domain registry platform used to operate top-level domains (TLDs). It implements the core registry protocols—EPP for registrar interactions, WHOIS/RDAP for public data access—and manages the lifecycle of domain objects, hosts, and contacts. The system is built to scale and to enforce policy: pricing rules, reserved names, premium tiers, grace periods, and automated renewals are modeled explicitly. It integrates with DNS provisioning, data escrow, and billing so you can run a compliant registry end-to-end rather than stitching together separate services. Operators get admin tools for reporting, manual adjustments, and policy configuration, while registrars interact through standards-compliant channels. Nomulus treats registries as serious infrastructure: audited flows, durable storage, and clear extension points for custom policies and TLD-specific behavior. -

Polka
A micro web server so fast, it'll make you dance
Polka is a micro web server for Node.js that positions itself as an extremely minimal yet highly performant alternative to Express. Under the hood it is essentially a thin layer on top of Node’s native HTTP server, adding just enough routing, middleware, and sub-application support to be productive without the weight of a full framework. Its API is intentionally similar to Express, which makes it easy for existing Express users to migrate or share middleware with minimal changes. Because it focuses on speed and small size, polka can be attractive for performance-sensitive services, serverless functions, or applications where dependency budgets are tight. The project exposes common features like route parameters, query parsing (usually via external middleware), and simple error handling, but leaves more advanced concerns to the user or ecosystem packages. -

jsdom
JavaScript implementation of various web standards, for use with Node
jsdom is a pure-JavaScript implementation of many web standards, notably the WHATWG DOM and HTML Standards, for use with Node.js. In general, the goal of the project is to emulate enough of a subset of a web browser to be useful for testing and scraping real-world web applications. The latest versions of jsdom require Node.js v10 or newer. To use jsdom, you will primarily use the JSDOM constructor, which is a named export of the jsdom main module. Pass the constructor a string. The resulting object is an instance of the JSDOM class, which contains a number of useful properties and methods besides window. In general, it can be used to act on the jsdom from the "outside," doing things that are not possible with the normal DOM APIs. For simple cases, where you don't need any of this functionality, we recommend a coding pattern. -

Puma
A Ruby/Rack web server built for concurrency
Unlike other Ruby Webservers, Puma was built for speed and parallelism. Puma is a small library that provides a very fast and concurrent HTTP 1.1 server for Ruby web applications. It is designed for running Rack apps only. What makes Puma so fast is the careful use of a Ragel extension to provide fast, accurate HTTP 1.1 protocol parsing. This makes the server scream without too many portability issues. If you are using Bundler, just add Puma to your project's Gemfile. Once you've installed your bundle, start Puma. If you are not using Bundler, you can install Puma directly from the command line. On MRI, there is a Global VM Lock (GVL) that ensures only one thread can run Ruby code at a time. But if you're doing a lot of blocking IO (such as HTTP calls to external APIs like Twitter), Puma still improves MRI's throughput by allowing IO waiting to be done in parallel. -

Getting Started With Open Source Web Services Software
- Getting started with using open source web services software is a relatively straightforward process. First, it's important to understand what kind of software you need and the skill level you have with coding. If you are not familiar with programming languages such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript, then there are many user-friendly options available for those just getting started.
- Once you determine which type of open source software is best for your needs, the next step is to find an appropriate download or online resource from which to obtain it. Fortunately, there are dozens of excellent sources available online that offer free downloads of these types of products. When searching for a package, check how long ago it was updated and read any reviews or comments on its reliability and performance.
- Next, install the chosen software onto your computer’s operating system (Windows/MacOS). This typically involves running the installation file provided by the provider’s website upon downloading it. Once completed, launch the program to begin using its features – this is usually done through clicking on an icon located in either your applications folder or desktop shortcut (both depending on OS).
- At this point some setups may require further customization before being used in full capacity such as configuring settings related to security protocols (SSL certificate) and other APIs used within hosted applications if needed. Additional plugins/extensions related to specific features may also be able to be installed should they not already exist within the product itself - something again worth researching beforehand if required.
- Finally once setup is complete users can start testing their application(s) or website interface by navigating between pages (or making changes) to learn more about how everything works along setting up databases when necessary via user accounts integration into an online ecosystem - something often handled through MySQL solutions as part of backend architecture management techniques employed within hosted platforms such as WordPress or Drupal among others respectively.
