    WordPress boilerplate with modern development tools

    WordPress boilerplate with modern development tools, easier configuration, and an improved folder structure. Bedrock is an open source project and completely free to use. Bedrock is a modern WordPress stack that helps you get started with the best development tools and project structure. Much of the philosophy behind Bedrock is inspired by the Twelve-Factor App methodology including the WordPress specific version. Bedrock is multisite network compatible, but needs the roots/multisite-url-fixer mu-plugin on subdomain installs to make sure admin URLs function properly. This plugin is not needed on subdirectory installs but will work well with them. Composer is used to manage dependencies. Bedrock considers any 3rd party library as a dependency including WordPress itself and any plugins.

    CF-Workers-SUB

    CF-Workers-SUB

    Aggregates any of your nodes with multiple subscriptions

    CF-Workers-SUB is a project that uses Cloudflare Workers to aggregate or convert multiple subscription sources (for proxy nodes/configs) into a personalized subscription link for the user. Essentially, it lets you input your own node(s) and then generate a unified subscription endpoint that others can use with tools like Clash, Sing-box, or V2Ray. The repository emphasizes being user-friendly for scenarios where one has many proxy/node links but wants to streamline into a single subscription feed. It also supports variable configuration (token, built-in nodes, custom add/CSV/API sources) to produce automated “preferred line” generation. The project is aimed at “subscription” style services (i.e., providing proxies as subscriptions) rather than pure application logic, and is tailored toward self-hosters. It’s designed for ease of deployment on Workers or Pages, enabling people to maintain their own subscription link infrastructure cheaply.

    Java JWT

    Java JWT

    Java implementation of JSON Web Token (JWT)

    A Java implementation of JSON Web Token (JWT) - RFC 7519. This library requires Java 8 or higher. The last version that supported Java 7 was 3.11.0. The library implements JWT Verification and Signing using several algorithms. The Algorithm defines how a token is signed and verified. It can be instantiated with the raw value of the secret in the case of HMAC algorithms, or the key pairs or KeyProvider in the case of RSA and ECDSA algorithms. Once created, the instance is reusable for token signing and verification operations. When using RSA or ECDSA algorithms and you just need to sign JWTs you can avoid specifying a Public Key by passing a null value. The same can be done with the Private Key when you just need to verify JWTs.

    warp

    warp

    A super-easy, composable, web server framework for warp speeds

    The fundamental building block of warp is the Filter, they can be combined and composed to express rich requirements on requests. A Filter in warp is essentially a function that can operate on some input, either something from a request, or something from a previous Filter, and returns some output, which could be some app-specific type you wish to pass around, or can be some reply to send back as an HTTP response. That might sound simple, but the exciting part is the combinators that exist on the Filter trait. These allow composing smaller Filters into larger ones, allowing you to modularize, and reuse any part of your web server. As awesome as the Filter system is, if warp didn’t provide common web server features, it’d still be annoying to work with. Thus, warp provides a bunch of built-in Filters, allowing you to compose the functionality you need to describe each route or resource or sub-whatever.

    Nomulus

    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.

    Amazon DynamoDB Session Store

    Amazon DynamoDB Session Store

    Handles sessions for Ruby web applications using DynamoDB as a backend

    The Amazon DynamoDB Session Store handles sessions for Ruby web applications using a DynamoDB backend. The session store is compatible with all Rack-based frameworks. For Rails applications, use the aws-sdk-rails gem. The session store is a Rack Middleware, meaning that it will implement the Rack interface for dealing with HTTP request/responses. This session store uses a DynamoDB backend in order to provide scaling and centralized data benefits for session storage with more ease than other containers, like local servers or cookies. Once an application scales beyond a single web server, session data will need to be shared across the servers. DynamoDB takes care of this burden for you by scaling with your application. Cookie storage places all session data on the client side, discouraging sensitive data storage. It also forces strict data size limitations. DynamoDB takes care of these concerns by allowing for a safe and scalable storage container with a much larger data size limit.

    Industrial-grade RPC framework used throughout Baidu

    Apache brpc is an industrial-grade RPC framework for building reliable and high-performance services. Apache brpc (incubating) is an effort undergoing Incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Incubator. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF. brpc is an industrial-grade RPC framework for building reliable and high-performance services. Build HA distributed services using an industrial-grade implementation of RAFT consensus algorithm which is opensourced at braft.
