Lightpanda Browser
Lightpanda: the headless browser designed for AI and automation
Lightpanda is an open-source headless browser designed specifically for automation, artificial intelligence workflows, and large-scale web interaction tasks. Unlike traditional browsers that include full graphical rendering engines meant for human users, Lightpanda is built from scratch to operate entirely in headless mode, focusing only on the components required for programmatic web interaction. This design allows it to execute JavaScript and interact with web pages while avoiding the overhead associated with rendering images, fonts, and layout elements intended for visual display. The browser is implemented using the Zig programming language and integrates the V8 JavaScript engine to run modern web applications and scripts efficiently. Because it avoids graphical rendering and other heavy browser components, the system uses significantly less memory and launches almost instantly compared to conventional browsers such as Chrome. -

Extism
The Universal Plug-in System. Extend anything with WebAssembly
Extism is a plug-in system for everyone. We've carefully designed it to be flexible, fitting into codebases of all shapes and sizes, but opinionated enough so that things Just Work™ the way they should. Extism's goal is to make all software programmable. You can use Extism in your codebase, regardless of the programming language. We support several environments through our official Host SDKs, and are adding more language support all the time. A plug-in system is software that enables your users or customers to add some logic into certain points in your application. You decide where this logic runs, and your users decide what the plug-in does. Many engineering teams face an ever-growing list of feature requests, often exceeding their bandwidth several times over. How can you ever keep up? Making your product extensible by its end-users is a great way to move some of those features outside the core, and empower customers to make your software more useful for them. -

Cake
Distributed LLM and StableDiffusion inference
Cake is a compact, powerful toolkit that combines a flexible TCP/UDP proxy, port forwarding system, and connection manager designed for both development and penetration testing scenarios. It enables users to create complex networking flows where traffic can be proxied, relayed, and manipulated between endpoints — useful for debugging networked applications, inspecting protocols, or tunneling traffic through different hops. The tool is designed to work with multiple protocols and supports dynamic rule definitions so that incoming and outgoing connections can be routed, rewritten, or logged according to user-defined policies. Unlike many simple proxies, Cake can act as a full connection broker: it can bind to arbitrary interfaces, handle simultaneous upstream/downstream sessions, and apply traffic rules on the fly. This makes it suitable for troubleshooting tricky network behavior, simulating network conditions, or chaining services in a modular test environment. -

HTTP
Rust HTTP types
This crate is a general purpose library for common types found when working with the HTTP protocol. You’ll find Request and Response types for working as either a client or a server as well as all of their components. Notably you’ll find Uri for what a Request is requesting, a Method for how it’s being requested, a StatusCode for what sort of response came back, a Version for how this was communicated, and HeaderName/HeaderValue definitions to get grouped in a HeaderMap to work with request/response headers. You will notably not find an implementation of sending requests or spinning up a server in this crate. It’s intended that this crate is the “standard library” for HTTP clients and servers without dictating any particular implementation. Note that this crate is still early on in its lifecycle so the support libraries that integrate with the http crate are a work in progress! Stay tuned and we’ll be sure to highlight crates here in the future. -

Quickwit
Sub-second search & analytics engine on cloud storage
Sub-second search & analytics engine on cloud storage. Quickwit is the fastest search engine on cloud storage. Quickwit has an Elasticsearch-compatible Ingest-API to make it easier to migrate your log shippers (Vector, Fluent Bit, Syslog, ...) to Quickwit. However, we only support ES aggregation DSL, the query DSL support is planned for Q2 2023. The core difference and advantage of Quickwit are its architecture built from the ground to search on cloud storage. We optimized IO paths, revamped the index data structures and made search stateless and sub-second on cloud storage. Quickwit is open-source under the GNU Affero General Public License Version 3 - AGPLv3. Fundamentally, this means you are free to use Quickwit for your project if you don't modify Quickwit. However, if you do and you are distributing your modified version to the public, you have to make the modifications public. -
