A find replacement with sane defaults (respects .gitignore, colorized output) - faster to use correctly than remembering find's flag syntax.
Where fd fits, based on its real tags and topics.

`fd` is a program to find entries in your filesystem. It is a simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to `find`. While it does not aim to support all of `find`'s powerful functionality, it provides sensible (opinionated) defaults for a majority of use cases.

Find vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, secrets, SBOM in containers, Kubernetes, code repositories, clouds and more
“A fast, all-in-one vulnerability scanner - containers, filesystems, git repos, and Terraform/IaC misconfigurations all covered by one CLI tool.”
“The standard penetration testing framework - essential for offensive security work, strictly for authorized testing on systems you own or have permission to test.”
“A terminal UI for Kubernetes that makes exploring pods, logs, and resources dramatically faster than raw kubectl - most Kubernetes users end up living inside this.”
“Static analysis that's actually fast enough to run on every pull request - the rule syntax is simple enough that teams write their own custom checks instead of just accepting defaults.”
“An all-in-one JavaScript runtime, bundler, test runner, and package manager - genuinely faster than the Node.js equivalents it replaces.”
“The de facto standard code editor - lightweight enough to feel instant, extensible enough to replace a full IDE for almost any language.”
“A drop-in Node.js/npm replacement that's dramatically faster at installs, startup, and test execution - low-risk to try on an existing project.”
“Makes monorepo builds fast via aggressive local/remote caching - the difference is dramatic once a repo has more than a couple of packages.”
“A content-addressable package manager that's both faster and dramatically more disk-efficient than npm/yarn, with none of npm's phantom-dependency bugs.”
“The modern default frontend build tool - native ESM in dev means a dev server that starts and reloads almost instantly, even on large apps.”
The Postgres development platform. Supabase gives you a dedicated Postgres database to build your web, mobile, and AI applications.
“A genuinely open-source Firebase alternative - real Postgres underneath, with auth, storage, and realtime built in rather than a proprietary database.”
“The industry-standard container orchestrator - not always necessary at small scale, but the default assumption for any serious cloud-native platform team.”
“The most capable open-source relational database available - strong standards compliance, extensions for nearly everything (including full-text search and vectors), and a default choice for good reason.”
“Unifies dozens of LLM providers behind a single API, making model switching almost effortless in production.”
“The standard library for working with open-weight models - thousands of pretrained models are one line of code away.”
“The open-source engine behind Docker - understanding containers here pays off no matter which orchestrator sits on top later.”
