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

Hosted for free (as-in-beer)

alwaysdata would not be the same adventure without the open source community. Giving back to it what it has been able to offer us – and still offers us – is close to our hearts. This is why we offer a specific hosting plan: if you are looking for a partner to host your open source project (code repositories, websites, demos, etc.), we are here. You can request to benefit from a 10 GB plan for free. We limit this account to active free projects only.

The following free projects are currently hosted by alwaysdata:

We are not looking for the entire open source community to host with alwaysdata. The world however needs respectful alternatives to this model, as much as possible. If you would like to take advantage of this offer, send us a message at community@alwaysdata.com!

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!
