Love this!
Theres so many great COSS (Commercial Open Source Software) tools out there that would easily beat out giant competitors both in functionality and flexibility.
Glad to have such a great resource to discover all the cool stuff out there
@harish_uthayakumar Thank you so much for your support! We hope the BlueLearn community can find some good open-source products to contribute to and upskill themselves 💙✨
Impressed by Scoutflo's launch on Product Hunt! The concept of deploying open-source tools easily is intriguing. I'd love to know more about the platform's compatibility with different infrastructure setups. Does Scoutflo support cloud-based deployments, on-premises environments, or both?
@aahan_roy Thank you so much! Currently, we have a Beta version of Scoutflo Deploy which supports deployment of a few products on AWS Cloud, specifically on an EKS (Kubernetes) Cluster. We have a guidebook published for EKS cluster creation, and will soon launch a feature to automate cluster creation as well.
We definitely have support for other cloud providers planned in our roadmap as well in the coming future. However, we aren't looking for on-prem solutions as of now.
We are also planning to enable open source founders and maintainers use Scoutflo to manage and distribute their products to their customers with minimal friction.
Open Source FTW! 💙
@poulami_nag Glad that you find value in Scoutflo! Being in sales, I'm sure you can relate to the problems with proprietary SaaS products and we hope COSS can be the answer to those problems moving forward.
@poulami_nag Thanks a lot. Yes, we have made this platform that can be easily leveraged by anyone from tech and nontech background. Hope you will find the platform easy to use and explore some great open source tools for your use.

Congratulations! And good luck with your fantastic mission!
Congratulations on the launch of Scoutflo Atlas! I'm really excited to see this project come to fruition. I've been a big fan of open source software for a long time, and I think Scoutflo is a great way to make it more accessible to businesses and developers.
There are a lot of great options for businesses of all sizes, and I think that Scoutflo will be a valuable resource for anyone who is looking to adopt open source software.
I'm also really impressed with the features that's included in Scoutflo Atlas. The sandbox feature is a great way to try out products before you commit to using them, and the deploy feature makes it easy to self-host open source software on your own cloud.
Overall, I think Scoutflo Atlas is a great platform that has the potential to make open source software more accessible to businesses and developers. I'm excited to see how Scoutflo grows and evolves in the future.
Thanks again for launching Scoutflo Atlas! I'm sure that it will be a valuable resource for the open source community.
@satyam_pariyar Really appreciate the elaborate review! We too hope that Scoutflo Atlas can help Open Source become mainstream and help both businesses and the open source community benefit from this! We at Scoutflo believe that Open Source is definitely the future of Software! 💙
I'm a simple man—I see open source, and I upvote.
Seriously though, love this initiative. I actually have a public directory of what I call CookieSlayers (cookieslayers.com), which are companies, products, and services that respect user privacy. All of them are open source (as of this writing). They're not all commercial products, but many are. We can probably discover a few more to add to both Scoutflo and CookieSlayers.
On a separate but related note, thanks for including Baserow 🙌
Baserow is super enterprise-ready for those who are unable to use Airtable. With Baserow, you can self-host and be in compliance with your legal/compliance teams for storing sensitive data, build plugins or apps on top of Baserow, and have unlimited storage limits.
Be on the lookout for Documenso (DocuSign alternative) from @eltimuro and Webstudio (Webflow alternative) from @oleg008 👀
Here's to open source 🍻
@hiramfromthechi Thank you so much for the super thoughtful comment, means a lot! Love the fact that you're big on open source, that is something we truly believe will become mainstream in the coming future!
Open Source FTW!💙
@karenlay Hi Karen,
We're listing Commercial Open Source Software (COSS) tools & products on our platform right now. We evaluate products based on various parameters including their Github stars, forks, issues, etc as well as other business metrics like having a pricing (indicating a business model), the founding team, their category and industry and so on. Based on the maturity and health of the product, we take a call whether the product fits our criteria for publishing on Atlas.
We have a dedicated internal CMS for maintaining and publishing these products on Atlas, which we soon plan to make public for maintainers to use. For now, if you want to apply to get a product published on Scoutflo Atlas, simply reach out to us at contactus@scoutflo.com and we'd be happy to help! :)
