Semaphore, a leading CI/CD platform, announced its core platform is officially open source under the Apache 2.0 license—empowering DevOps professionals worldwide, who have long struggled with the limitations of existing solutions, with a path that combines enterprise-grade reliability with the transparency and customizability of open source.
By opening its codebase, now, developers can explore how the platform works under the hood, identify and fix issues directly, and extend functionality to meet their unique requirements.
According to the company, this visibility is invaluable for organizations where deployment reliability directly impacts business outcomes.
Semaphore’s journey has evolved through extensive customer collaboration, solving real deployment challenges. By opening the source code, Semaphore amplifies this collaborative approach, inviting a global community of developers to shape the platform’s future.
This community-driven model promises to accelerate innovation, the company said. The community can now contribute features that might have taken months to appear on a product roadmap.
Recognizing that different organizations have varying requirements, Semaphore has structured its offering into three distinct editions:
- Community Edition: The core platform is now open source and free, perfect for small teams and individual projects.
- Cloud Edition: A fully managed solution that offers either pure cloud or hybrid deployment options for teams wanting convenience without sacrificing flexibility.
- Enterprise Edition: An on-premise deployment with advanced security and compliance features tailored for organizations with strict governance requirements.
