Open source at every level
Open source solutions across the entire technical stack
Since the beginning of alwaysdata, we have chosen to rely on open source solutions. Our server clusters use free solutions: operating system, HTTP servers, database engines, email system, antivirus, etc. No proprietary tool is used, because we have much more confidence when we can review the code we execute.
Our administration interface is developed using the Django framework, and relies on free component libraries. We distribute under open source licenses some of our developments when they can be useful to the entire community.
Supporting the community
Donations to the projects that support us
alwaysdata wouldn't be the same adventure without the open source community. Giving back to this community what it has offered us — and continues to offer us — matters deeply to us. That is why we financially support, through regular donations, the free software projects that form the foundation of our infrastructure.
On a daily basis, our servers and administration interface rely on Debian, Python, PostgreSQL, and Django. Contributing to their sustainability means ensuring the solidity of the foundations on which our services rest — and those of the entire community.
Conferences
If you are part of the organizing team of a conference or meetup, we would be delighted to discuss your event together. We are supporters of a world of knowledge sharing, both through our technical evangelization action, and through support for events.
Send us a message at community@alwaysdata.com to give us more information about your needs, the type of topics you want to address, your actions in favor of diversity, etc. We are here to support you!
