Background

Managed open-source on AWS

Your business software.
Your AWS account.
Managed for you.

Replace suitable per-user subscriptions with open-source applications in an environment your company owns. We handle the servers, updates, sign-in, and backups.

Astronaut

Why teams switch

More control. Less maintenance.

Privacy and ownership

Your applications and data live in your own AWS account, separate from our other customers’ applications. You authorize our access and keep the environment if you leave.

Ongoing security maintenance

We keep managed servers and apps updated and configure centralized sign-in through Keycloak where supported. A separate environment gives you control. Proper configuration and maintenance help protect it.

Cost efficiency

Our management fees are based on applications, not employee count. AWS bills you directly for infrastructure and usage. We compare your total costs before recommending a switch.

Clear pricing. Based on apps, not headcount.

Identity management, monitoring, and backup tooling are included infrastructure, not billable apps.

Setup, migration, training, and custom integrations are quoted separately.

Service Monthly price
Base management, including one server $99
Each managed business app $20
Backup management $5/TB of live data protected
AWS infrastructure and usage Paid directly to AWS

Start with the tools that make sense.

Potential replacements include file sharing, document editing, project management, time tracking, passwords, team collaboration, and marketing.

  1. 01

    We review your needs

    Your required features and integrations come first.

  2. 02

    We recommend a starting point

    A practical first set of apps, not a big-bang switch.

  3. 03

    You get a scoped proposal

    A scoped deployment and migration proposal you can review before anything moves.

Ownership

Yours from day one.

You create the AWS account and authorize our team’s access. We deploy and manage the agreed applications. If you ever cancel management, the environment stays with you.

  1. Day one

    You create the AWS account

    The account is in your company’s name, and you authorize our team’s access.

  2. Ongoing

    We deploy and manage the agreed apps

    Servers, updates, sign-in configuration, and backups are handled for you.

  3. If you cancel

    Your apps and data remain in your account

    Nothing is moved out or held back.

  4. Handover

    Documentation, then we step out

    We provide the agreed documentation and handover, then remove our access.
