📦 #015 - Essential Developer Tools to Boost Your Productivity by 10X
Discover new coding tools to focus on building great software efficiently.
Hi, this is Madza! 👋
Welcome to The Fifteenth issue of The Developer Toolbox!
In today's fast-paced tech landscape, utilizing essential developer tools is crucial for enhancing productivity and efficiently delivering high-quality software.
From Code generation and CI/CD to Documentation, these tools empower developers to streamline their workflows and tackle complex projects.
I've organized these resources into categories and provided direct links with descriptions for easy access to help you find exactly what you need.
First, I want to thank the Sponsor of this issue! 💖
StackQL is a new and revolutionary approach to handling Cloud services!
With StackQL you can deploy, query, and interact with cloud resources from your favorite major cloud providers using Structured query language (SQL).
You no longer need to learn different APIs for each provider. Manage Google Cloud, AWS, Azure, Digital Ocean, etc. with unified SQL semantics!
Use StackQL via the interactive REPL shell and the command line utility, or execute StackQL statements in an input file (IQL file).
⭐ If you like the project, make sure to star it on GitHub! ⭐
