Beast
HTTP and WebSocket built on Boost.Asio in C++11
Beast is a header-only C++ library that provides low-level HTTP, WebSocket, and networking protocol building blocks on top of Boost.Asio. It is designed for developers who need to build interoperable clients, servers, proxies, gateways, or custom protocol components rather than using a high-level web framework. Beast follows Boost.Asio’s asynchronous model, so it fits naturally into event-driven C++ networking applications. Its algorithms are role-agnostic, meaning the same core abstractions can be used to build client-side and server-side systems. The library provides protocol vocabulary types, parsers, serializers, examples, and reusable patterns for robust network programming. It is especially useful for C++ developers who want fine-grained control over HTTP and WebSocket behavior while staying within the Boost ecosystem. -

Elastic APM Node.js Agent
Elastic APM Node.js Agent
This is the official Node.js application performance monitoring (APM) agent for the Elastic Observability solution. It is a Node.js package that runs with your Node.js application to automatically capture errors, tracing data, and performance metrics. APM data is sent to your Elastic Observability deployment -- hosted in Elastic's cloud or in your own on-premises deployment -- where you can monitor your application, create alerts, and quick identify root causes of service issues. First, you will need an Elastic Stack deployment. This is a deployment of APM Server (which receives APM data from the APM agent running in your application), Elasticsearch (the database that stores all APM data), and Kibana (the application that provides the interface to visualize and analyze the data). If you do not already have an Elastic deployment to use, follow this APM Quick Start guide to create a free trial on Elastic's cloud. -

Each module of Open-Falcon is super easy to scale horizontally. With RRA(Round Robin Archive) mechanism, the one-year history data of 100+ metrics could be returned in just one second. No critical single point of failure, easy to operate and deploy. Falcon-agent has already 400+ built-in server metrics. Users can collect their customized metrics by writing plugins or just simply run a script/program to relay metrics to falcon-agent. For easier management of alerting rules, Open-Falcon supports strategy templating, inheritance, and multiple alerting method, and callback for recovery. Open-Falcon could present multi-dimension graph, including user-defined dashboard/screen. -

FastRoute
Fast request router for PHP
This library provides a fast implementation of a regular expression-based router. Firstly, while writing a PHP extension is obviously a lot of fun, it is unlikely to be particularly beneficial in terms of performance unless the code involves computations in tight loops. Porting “normal” components like routers to C is usually a big waste of time. You can get much better results by doing a few small improvements on the algorithmic side. For the same reason I’m not a big fan of things like Phalcon, i.e. PHP frameworks written as a C extension. You can get good performance by using an appropriate application design (that is not massively overengineered) and still retain the flexibility of keeping everything in PHP. A URI is dispatched by calling the dispatch() method of the created dispatcher. This method accepts the HTTP method and a URI. Getting those two bits of information (and normalizing them appropriately) is your job. -

Jaeger
Monitor and troubleshoot transactions in complex distributed systems
As on-the-ground microservice practitioners are quickly realizing, the majority of operational problems that arise when moving to a distributed architecture are ultimately grounded in two areas: networking and observability. It is simply an orders of magnitude larger problem to network and debug a set of intertwined distributed services versus a single monolithic application. Jaeger, inspired by Dapper and OpenZipkin, is a distributed tracing system released as open source by Uber Technologies. It is used for monitoring and troubleshooting microservices-based distributed systems. OpenTracing compatible data model and instrumentation libraries include Go, Java, Node, Python, C++ and C#. Jaeger uses consistent upfront sampling with individual per service/endpoint probabilities and it has multiple storage backends: Cassandra, Elasticsearch, memory. -

brain.js
GPU accelerated Neural networks in JavaScript for Browsers
GPU accelerated Neural networks in JavaScript for Browsers and Node.js. brain.js is a GPU accelerated library for Neural Networks written in JavaScript. Brain.js depends on a native module headless-go for GPU support. In most cases installing brain.js from npm should just work. However, if you run into problems, this means prebuilt binaries are not able to download from GitHub repositories and you might need to build it yourself. Brain.js is super simple to use. You do not need to know Neural Networks in detail to work with this. Brain.js performs computations using GPU and gracefully fallback to pure JavaScript when GPU is not available. Brain.js provides multiple neural network implementations as different neural nets can be trained to do different things well. Easily export and import trained models using JSON format or as a function. Host pre-trained models on your website easily. -

endlessh-go
A golang implementation of endlessh exporting Prometheus metrics
Endlessh is a great idea that not only blocks the brute force SSH attacks, but also wastes attackers time as a kind of counter-attack. Besides trapping the attackers, I also want to visualize the Geolocations and other statistics of the sources of attacks. Unfortunately the wonderful original C implementation of endlessh only provides text based log, but I do not like the solution that writes extra scripts to parse the log outputs, then exports the results to a dashboard, because it would introduce extra layers in my current setup and it would depend on the format of the text log file rather than some structured data. Thus I create this golang implementation of endlessh to export Prometheus metrics and a Grafana dashboard to visualize them. -
