Open Source

The founders of Transloadit met as contributors to an open source project. As a result of this, open source is deeply ingrained in our company’s DNA. Here’s a quick tour of a few of our best projects.

Optionally, businesses deploying our open source software on their own servers (Uppy Companion or Tusd) in mission critical environments may find they need more guarantees than what they can get through GitHub issues and our Community Forum. These businesses may be interested in our Open Source Support Plans.

Knowledge

Besides releasing the software that we write, we also regularly share our adventures along the way. You can find these on our founder blogs (felixge, kvz, tim-kos) and right here on our Transloadit, Uppy, and tus blogs.

Developers

We actively free up developer time in order to work on open source projects. Most of us work on open source for most of our time.

Cash

We free up funds for open source projects through FSF contributions and by sponsoring a few giants on whose shoulders we stand, such as ImageMagick and FFmpeg.

Conferences

We fund the open source community by helping its members organize great conferences, hackathons and meet-ups.

If you would like to organize an event and still need someone to sponsor prizes or pizza, reach out!
