Alpine

Alpine IQ was founded in 2019. At its inception, Alpine IQ developed a groundbreaking tool to manage customer data compliance across multi-state/ provincial regulatory environments. This concept later sprouted organically into a full suite of tools to protect, segment, promote, and sync consumer experiences both in-store and online. The Alpine product lineup includes many components that work seamlessly together on top of high-risk industry specific 3rd parties to power loyalty systems, mobile apps, marketing, point of sale, marketing messaging automation, referral programs, store review automation, in-store screens, and more.

Alpine Linux is an independent, non-commercial, general purpose Linux distribution designed for power users who appreciate security, simplicity and resource efficiency. Alpine Linux is built around musl libc and busybox. This makes it smaller and more resource efficient than traditional GNU/Linux distributions. A container requires no more than 8 MB and a minimal installation to disk requires around 130 MB of storage. Not only do you get a fully-fledged Linux environment but a large selection of packages from the repository. Binary packages are thinned out and split, giving you even more control over what you install, which in turn keeps your environment as small and efficient as possible. Alpine Linux is a very simple distribution that will try to stay out of your way. It uses its own package manager called apk, the OpenRC init system, script driven set-ups and that’s it! This provides you with a simple, crystal-clear Linux environment without all the noise.
