In the past, we funded our work through consulting projects, but looking ahead, we’re going to offer a managed version for enterprises and charge per deployment or federation.
Interesting.
Flower seems to fit well for people who are sensitive about their data and don't want to hand it over to a third party, but this seems to move towards a model where they have to hand that sensitive data over to a third party.
Perhaps that still works for the bulk of users, especially commercial rather than government. It's difficult to pursue both a managed solution and simultaneously maintain an open source offering without one departing from the other.
- wjnc 4y agoCharge per deployment is on-prem? You bring the hardware, they send you the software.
- tanto 4y agoHey wjnc, You can think of it how you can use GitLab on gitlab.com or deploy it yourself on-prem. The only difference being instead of per user we would charge per deployment. As in case of GitLab you can decide to host it yourself.
