An incredibly powerful free tool that has been around a long time is Mikrotik's 'The Dude'. Source: about 1 year ago

If you have a powerful enough router in the network, one of your options is to use The DUDE (Documentation). Note that DUDE requires IP access to WinBox from the management network. For some more features, you should also enable SNMP on your routers. DUDE server can also host a syslog server, so you can have centralized log ingestion. The downside of this solution is that it's unfortunately not a fully-featured... Source: almost 2 years ago

“The Dude” is what the tool is called (yeah I don’t know why they called it that either). It’s a client-server application and the server nowadays only runs on a Mikrotik router as a separate package. You could use any Mikrotik router but since it’s heavy on logging I use a Mikrotik CHR as a VM just to host the dude. The free CHR license gives you 1Mbps throughput which for SNMP monitoring is plenty. Source: about 2 years ago

MikroTik has a software called The Dude, that runs on some sort of computer acting as a server (an always on computer to receive, monitor, and store the data collected from the statistics). This would be the best way to achieve what you want to do (collecting user usage statistics and storing it in one place). Source: about 2 years ago

Ts-rest is an open-source project, and it has a fast-growing community. You can check out their documentation here. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

Surprisingly, thanks to the power of TypeScript, new Node.js RPC frameworks like tRPC and ts-rest now provide extremely pleasant and snappy developer experiences. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

It is worth noting there are also options to get both compile time type safety and runtime validation using TypeScript. Personally I’m a fan of ts-rest: https://ts-rest.com/ Write a specification of your endpoints in TypeScript, and from that one spec you get: - Server side validation of requests/responses - A TypeScript API client - Auto-generated docs (OAS) - TypeScript types for requests and responses to use in... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

Strong disagree. The barrier you presume is that OpenAPI specs are hard to write. Raw oAPI in yaml is indeed a pain, but there are good DSL's out there. I personally love Zod->OpenAPI, via https://ts-rest.com which uses https://www.npmjs.com/package/@anatine/zod-openapi. https://github.com/asteasolutions/zod-to-openapi is another alternative for Zod.... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

I’ve recently been exploring https://ts-rest.com/ and it seems like a pretty solid project that can solve issues in my codebase. Source: 12 months ago
