7 Open Source Projects You Should Know - Italian Edition ✔️ [BONUS]

Overview

Hi everyone 👋🏼​
This will be an article a little different from the others: in fact I will not take projects written in a certain language, but this time I will talk about Italian Open Source projects 🇮🇹
Yes, Italy is my country and and the source of this article is Italia Open-Source 🚀, the organization that keeps track of the state of Open Source in Italy.
Let's start 🤙🏼

1. Fiume

Fiume is a zero-dependency, simple, and flexible state machine library written in TypeScript and supports Deterministic and partially Non-Deterministic state machines. It is compatible with all JavaScript runtimes (Node.js for example 😎) and is designed to manage the flow of a system through various states. It provides a lightweight and intuitive way to define states, transitions, and hooks for state entry, exit, and transition events 🕶

Fiume 🏞️

Fiume is a zero-dependency, simple, and flexible state machine library written in TypeScript It supports Deterministic and partially Non-Deterministic state machines It is compatible with all JavaScript runtimes and is designed to manage the flow of a system through various states. This library provides a lightweight and intuitive way to define states, transitions, and hooks for state entry, exit, and transition events.

Unlike other libraries, Fiume does not require hardcoding state transitions. Instead, you can write the transition logic inside the transitionTo function.

Docs

You can find documentation and examples at fiume.dev.

Installation

npm install fiume

Usage

import { StateMachine, State } from "fiume";
// Define a simple ON-OFF machine
const states: Array<State> = [
  {
    id: "OFF",
    initial: true,
    transitionGuard: ({ event }) => event === 'button clicked',
    transitionTo: ()

2. FusionCache

FusionCache is an amazing project! ✌🏻
It is an easy to use, fast and robust hybrid cache with advanced resiliency features and has all sorts of different types of caches: memory caching, distributed caching, http caching, CDNs, browser cache, offline cache,ecc 🤙🏻

FusionCache is an easy to use, fast and robust hybrid cache with advanced resiliency features.

It was born after years of dealing with all sorts of different types of caches: memory caching, distributed caching, http caching, CDNs, browser cache, offline cache, you name it. So I've tried to put together these experiences and came up with FusionCache.

Being a hybrid cache means it can transparently work as either a normal memory cache (L1) or as a multi-level cache (L1+L2), where the distributed 2nd level (L2) can be any implementation of the standard IDistributedCache interface: this will get us better cold starts, better horizontal scalability, more resiliency and overall better performance.

FusionCache also includes an optional backplane for realtime sync between multiple nodes and advanced resiliency features like cache stampede protection, a fail-safe mechanism, soft/hard timeouts, eager refresh, full…

Build

This repository is made of 5 subpackages. The dependencies can be sketched as follows:

  `interfaces`
           |
    `composer`
           |
`orchestrator` `iconic`
           |    |
          `layout`

to build the packages there's a script which can be invoked after install as

yarn initialize [OPTIONS]

where OPTIONS are

1. -c or --cleanup
2. one of the subpackages: interfaces, iconic, composer, orchestrator, and layout (default)

By using cleanup you require initialize to…

4. Nuvolaris

Nuvolaris is an Open Source project to build a complete and portable Serverless environment that runs in every Kubernetes.
It is as a distribution of the Apache OpenWhisk serverless engine ☁️

Nuvolaris is as a distribution of the Apache OpenWhisk serverless engine that runs in every Kubernetes

Welcome to Nuvolaris!

Nuvolaris is an Open Source project to build a complete and portable Serverless environment that runs in every Kubernetes.

Technically it is a distribution of Apache OpenWhisk released under the Apache Licence 2.0 (like OpenWhisk itself), that includes other services out of the box.

We want to build a complete distribution of a serverless environment that:

• It is easy to install and manage.
• Potentially runs in every Kubernetes.
• It is tested regularly against a set of supported Kubernetes environments.
• Includes a (possibly large) number of integrated services.

This is the main differentiation from Apache OpenWhisk, as it only provides a basic engine for serverless. Our goals are described in our roadmap document to read about.

TL;DR

If you are in a hurry, here a few starting points:

• Read the documentation.
• Download the latest release of the CLI to install and use Nuvolaris.
• Check our YouTube…

5. Faker

Do you know PHP Faker?
Good, this project is the same but written in Python!
Whether you need to bootstrap your database, create good-looking XML documents, fill-in your persistence to stress test it, or anonymize data taken from a production service, Faker is for you 🫵🏻

Compatibility

Starting from version 4.0.0, Faker dropped support for Python 2 and from version 5.0.0 only supports Python 3.7 and above. If you still need Python 2 compatibility, please install version 3.0.1 in the meantime, and please consider updating your codebase to support Python 3 so you can enjoy the latest features Faker has to offer. Please see the extended docs for more details…
