Tooling
Naftiko is built upon open-source tooling that is already in use by businesses of all shapes and sizes. Our goal is to build on the existing momentum that exists, while contributed new solutions on top of existing processes and workflows. This list of tools represents the tooling we are using and building upon, and then begin contributing our own tooling into the mix based upon what we see.
Backstage
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.
Docker
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.
Bruno
Bruno provides a compelling look at how to deliver commercial open-source software that is directly taking on the commercial leader in the space, targeting enterprises who are looking to invest in their own platforms, and Bruno’s technology and business model will be baked into the Naftiko approach.
Microcks
Microcks does not have a commercial model, but relies on the project’s founders having a good day job, which can’t be overlooked as part of the commercial open-source model, and as we weave Microcks into the Naftiko Fabric, we need to better understand what is possible when commercializing at the edge of what Microcks delivers.
We have other tooling that we are building upon that we need to evaluate the licensing, commercialization strategy or opportunities around. We are starting with these core solutions that are foundational to Naftiko, then will continue layering on licensing, plans, and pricing as influenced by core open-source tooling available today.
