Tooling
The open-source tooling we are building Naftiko on possess a variety of implications when it comes to how they fund work on tooling, and directly or indirectly commercialize on top of open-source. Our goal is to document the revenue implications of the tooling we are building upon, beginning with licensing, but also plans, pricing, and commercialization surrounding open-source, and using to shape the Naftiko revenue strategy.
We are working to understand the open-source and commercial dimensions of the Docker ecosystem, understanding how Docker, and DockerHub as a distribution mechanism can also fit into the revenue strategy for Naftiko, shaping the deliver of commercial open-source software within the enterprise.
We are interested in understanding the open-source and commercial dimensions of the Backstage ecosystem. It has showed up a lot in our market research, and provides a compelling way to reach the community in both open and commercial ways, and our goal is to understand and use to align with our revenue strategy.
Bruno is an open-source, offline-first API client that stores collections as plain text files directly on your filesystem and uses Git for version control, providing a lightweight alternative to Postman for testing, debugging, and managing APIs while keeping your data local and private.
Microcks is an open-source, cloud-native tool that turns API specifications (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, gRPC, GraphQL, and others) into live mocks in seconds and performs contract conformance testing to verify that API implementations meet their contracts.
Crossplane is an open-source framework for building cloud-native control planes that extends Kubernetes to orchestrate and manage applications and infrastructure across any cloud provider or environment without needing to write code, allowing platform engineers to create custom APIs that enable self-service infrastructure provisioning with built-in policies and guardrails.
