    Example of how to setup Codecov with docker compose (by codecov)

  • Not really open source, they are releasing their code under the BSL (Business Source License https://github.com/codecov/self-hosted/blob/main/LICENSE). But still great, and they use Django :D

    It's also interesting that they will no longer offer a commercial self-hosted solution.

    > As a part of this shift, we are offering a new self-hosted repo that makes it easy to run Codecov in a minimal docker-compose based setup for proof-of-concept and small volume deployments. We are end-of-lifing our commercial self-hosted offering, but will continue to provide support to existing customers who are running Codecov on-prem.

  • sentry-python

    The official Python SDK for Sentry.io

  • So cool to see the CTO of Sentry here! This makes some sense to me - I'm actually following an issue with Sentry I had recently and although it's not being fixed anytime soon at least I know the status.

    https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-python/issues/370

    I'd love to believe that one day someone will crack the nut of "Sentry puts a bounty on this issue and YPCrumble decides to make a PR because it's something he's experiencing AND he'd get some experience working on the Sentry codebase which would be a learning opportunity.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • codecov-api

    Code for the API of Codecov

  • Source license.

    The "change date" is 2026-06-31 and the BSL allows one, at that time, to re-license under a real open source license.

    What you're doing amounts to a pre-announcement of open sourcing something 3 years from now. To say it's "now open-source" is quite misleading.

  • gitlab

  • You are misinformed; they implemented a Sentry-compatible endpoint if the Project enabled it: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/v15.0.0-ee/lib/a...

    I feel perhaps you meant to link to https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/329596 which describes their intention to accept Sentry formatted JSON payloads and store them in their own database. Searching for "no need" in that issue will highlight the number of times they were drawing a distinction between the effort required to run GitLab and the effort to run the 15 containers of Sentry self-hosted
