Instead of maintaining and distributing your open-source project in the dark, take steps to ensure its success. Scarf helps you understand how your code is used and connects you with the companies that rely on your work.
The Scarf Gateway is an open-source service that provides a central access point to the containers and packages you distribute, no matter where they are hosted. The Gateway sits in front of your current registry and seamlessly redirects your download traffic to it, while empowering you with valuable usage data that your registry is not sharing. You gain better observability into how your software is used, putting your project’s distribution and data back in your control.
See which companies are downloading your containers, where in the world your downloads are coming from, whether or not they come from a CI pipeline, and much more.
Scarf's SDKs provide an easy way to understand how your software is being used. By simply adding a dependency on a Scarf library (eg scarf-js), you can start collecting actionable installation analytics that can help you keep your package working smoothly.
Want to know which versions of your package are being used? Did your most recent release break things for your users? Are there companies using your library that would pay you for a support contract? You won't have to write a single line of code to find out!
Scarf's Documentation Insights provides simple tracking pixels for a better understanding of your project's web traffic. By instrumenting your READMEs, documentation websites, tutorial pages and other web properties of your project, Scarf can tell you which companies are frequently viewing your documentation—providing access to those more likely to pay for training or support.
The tracking pixel will never get in the way, and as with all of Scarf's OSS telemetry tools, Scarf does not store any personally identifiable information about your users.
Releasing open-source code doesn't mean you have to relinquish the ability to understand how your software is used.
Scarf's analytics help you uncover which companies are using your project and understand their needs
