Attributions

A special thanks to the teams that built some of the foundations for this project. We'll be adding to this list as we complete the OSS effort. This is by no means a complete list.

• Coder: The basis for Gigo's workspace system and much of the core features were inspired by and derived from their work!

  • Web Based VSCode: A full web based VSCode editor
  • Coder v2: On-Prem Cloud Development Environments using Terraform to deploy the craziest environments you can think of

• OpenZiti: Ziti's open source overlay mesh network is used to provide secure networking from gigo-core servers to DevSpaces provisioned in the cloud! By using ziti we were able to massively improve the reliability of workspace connections and massively simplify the code surrounding it. When a DevSpace is launched the agent onboard begins listening over the ziti net and fowards traffic from the gigo-core proxy system to the local port on the DevSpace. If you're curious to see how, checkout the lib/zitimesh folder.

  • OpenZiti: Open Source Zero Trust Networking
  • OpenZiti Github

• Terraform: Terraform is used to provisione resource in kubernets for workspaces (maybe even VM's some day)

  • terraform: Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve infrastructure. It is an open source tool that codifies APIs into declarative configuration files that can run anywhere.

• Meilisearch: Meilisearch is used to power search functionality throughout gigo including the main search bar, tag search and so much more

  • meilisearch: Super fast, lightweight, search engine built in rust

• Gitea: Gitea is the git backend that we use to persist codebases and manage their version across Gigo

  • gitea: Git with a cup of tea, painless self-hosting
