A message from the Devtron team on sustainable open source, production reliability, and the 2 AM story that started it all.
A Message We Couldn't Ignore
A few months ago, a message landed in our inbox that we haven't stopped thinking about. An engineering lead at a Series B fintech company had built their entire deployment pipeline on Devtron OSS — dozens of microservices, three clusters, shipping to production multiple times a day.
At 2 a.m. on a Friday, a critical infrastructure and configuration failure brought everything to a halt. They did resolve it eventually but only after six hours, three engineers, and a deep dive through countless forum threads.

That message is why we built OSS+. Not to monetize a community. Not to satisfy investors. But because the teams putting Devtron at the core of their production infrastructure deserve a guarantee that the community — no matter how generous — simply cannot make.

What Production Teams Kept Telling Us
Open source gives you autonomy. OSS+ gives you accountability on top of it.
Community OSS vs. OSS Plus
Why OSS Plus Is Good For Everyone
Every OSS+ customer is actively funding the platform that tens of thousands of teams use for free. We're not hollowing out the open source core to push users toward paid tiers.
We're building the engine that lets us keep the open source promise long-term — for every team, at every scale. This is how sustainable open source actually works.
And if you’ve had a moment like that fintech engineer — a close call, a long night, a fix that took longer than it should have — we’d love to hear about it. Those stories are exactly what shape where we go next.
