Open-sourcing infrastructure code is expensive. It means writing documentation, handling issues from strangers, and accepting that competitors will copy your work.
We do it anyway. Here’s why.
Trust is a Competitive Advantage
In an industry built on trustlessness, the irony is that trust in your data provider matters more than ever. Open code is auditable code. Auditable code earns trust.
The Real Cost
Developer time. Every hour spent on docs and community support is an hour not spent on features. But the compounding returns — bug reports, contributions, reputation — make it worth it.
