Most cloud services could be built by combining an open source / Free Software (eg. MariaDB) together with a service lifecycle automation (SLM) platform (eg. SlapOS). With one notable exception, this goal has not yet been reached by the Open Source / Free Software community because most projects are still focusing on some kind of virtualisation (eg. virtual machines, containers) or orchestration (eg. Kuberneres) which only represent 10% to 20% of what is necessary to implement a public cloud service. This may leave SlapOS as the only open source / Free Software project that could possibly match leading public cloud services (AWS, Azure, Alicloud), as the following comparison table highlights: SlapOS OpenStack Kubernetes Jupyter NixOS AWS IaaS ✔ ✔ ✔ PaaS ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ Service App Store ✔ ✔ ✔ Orchestration ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ Virtualisation ✔ ✔ ✔ Network management ✔ ✔ ✔ Resilient networking ✔ ✔ Bare metal encapsulation ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ Portability ✔ limited ?

Automated DR ✔ ✔ Accounting & Billing ✔ ✔ Nexedi stack: less is more Nexedi develops and operates complex, scalable applications with less than 15 software: the Nexedi Freee Software stack. Out of those 15 software, developers actually focus on four of them: ERP5 for enterprise records management (including CRM, MRP, MES) OfficeJS for Progressive Web Application (PWA) development; SlapOS for IT infrastructure automation (on the cloud, at the edge or in the workshop); Wendelin for data collection and processing (including AI and conversion). Since both SlapOS, Wendelin and OfficeJS are just variations of ERP5, Nexedi developers actually only need to learn a single framework (ERP5) and a single language (python). By relying on less tools, Nexedi developers have more time to learn ERP5 in depth. They can reuse their ERP5 knowledge with SlapOS and Wendelin. And thanks to the huge size of python library, most problems that are not already covered by ERP5, SlapOS, Wendelin or OfficeJS can be solved quickly. AWS vs. Rapid.Space Amazon AWS provides more than 200 cloud services. The table below provides a comparison between Amazon AWS cloud services and technologies of the Nexedi Free Software stack which can be used to build simlar services deployed with SlapOS on Rapid.Space high performance, low cost cloud platform. For each AWS category and product, we provide a possible alternative in Nexedi Free Software stack either as a SlapOS profile (server based) or as Progressive Web App (browser based). We also provide open source / Free Software alternatives we are aware of.
