At The New York Times, their development teams have been adopting the Go programming language over the last three years to build better back-end services. They use Go for a wide variety of tasks, but the most common use throughout the company is for building JSON APIs. As they started building more and more APIs, the pains of microservices started to become apparent.
Gizmo, is open source. Gizmo offers four packages to help developers quickly configure and build microservice APIs and pubsub daemons. The config package provides a set of common, composable structs for working with tools common to technology currently at The New York Times: MySQL, MongoDB, Oracle, AWS (SNS, SQS, S3), Kafka, Gorilla’s securecookie, Gizmo Servers.

Vuvuzela is a messaging system that protects the privacy of message contents and message metadata. Users communicating through Vuvuzela do not reveal who they are talking to, even in the presence of powerful nation-state adversaries.
Vuvuzela is the first system that provides strong metadata privacy while scaling to millions of users. Previous systems that hide metadata using Tor (such as Pond) are prone to traffic analysis attacks. Systems that encrypt metadata using techniques like DC-nets and PIR don’t scale beyond thousands of users.
Vuvuzela uses efficient cryptography (NaCl) to hide as much metadata as possible and adds noise to metadata that can’t be encrypted efficiently. This approach provides less privacy than encrypting all of the metadata, but it enables Vuvuzela to support millions of users. Nonetheless, Vuvuzela adds enough noise to thwart adversaries like the NSA and guarantees differential privacy for users’ metadata.

Senna.js is a blazing-fast single page application engine that provides several low-level APIs that allows you to build modern web-based applications with only ~8 KB of JavaScript without any dependency. When using a single page app, sending a link to a friend should get them where we were. More than that, a search engine spider should be able to index that same content.
Forget hashbangs (#!), by using HTML5’s History API we can manipulate the user’s browser session history in JavaScript using pushState, replaceState and the popstate event. That way you can use browser’s back/forward buttons again. When some content is requested, it indicates to the user that something is happening. You can also define different kinds of CSS animations to use during state transitions. Once you load a certain surface this content can be cached in memory and be retrieved later on without any additional request.

ReqRes is a bare-bones ExpressJS application that is a hosted REST-API ready to respond to your AJAX requests. You can develop with real response codes. GET, POST, PUT & DELETE supported. No more tedious sample data creation, they’ve got it covered.
Reqres simulates real application scenarios. If you want to test a user authentication system, Reqres will respond to a successful login/register request with a token for you to identify a sample user, or with a 403 forbidden response to an unsuccessful login/registration attempt. When prototyping a new interface, you just want an API there, with minimal setup effort involved.
