How Scarf works

## From open source activity to account-level intelligence

Scarf connects the signals around how organizations discover, evaluate, and adopt your software, then gives your team practical ways to use them.

1

### Capture real adoption signals

Connect package and container registries, Scarf Gateway, SDKs, pixels, or your own event data.

2

### See companies and adoption patterns

Understand which organizations are active, what they use, and how their engagement changes over time. Raw IP addresses are not retained.

3

### Act on the signal

Ask questions in Scarf, filter and export accounts, sync data to GTM tools, or work through Slack, APIs, and webhooks.

## Liquibase built its go-to-market model around real community adoption

At Liquibase, community usage identified by Scarf is a core requirement for the company's top ICP tiers and now guides territory planning, ABM, and nurture.

[Read the case study](/post/building-a-predictable-icp/)

**90–95%** of new logo wins originate from Liquibase Community users

**90%+** of deals are marketing-driven, powered by an ICP model that starts with Scarf signals

## Hear it from our customers

> Scarf makes it easy to understand how quickly new versions of Linkerd are being adopted and which components are being deployed-data that the container registries have and don't share with us otherwise.
> 
> Oliver Gould
> 
> Co-Founder / CTO Buoyant

> It's much more popular than we thought. At this stage, we have about 9 million Docker downloads. By monitoring the SDK and game server downloads, we can understand the popularity of different SDKs and the specific uses of the game server, which we couldn't do before. Project observability improves your targeting and allows you to discover new companies for ABM campaigns

> Co-founder of Heroic Labs

> It’s important for us to understand who is using \[our OSS web framework\] IHP. Before using Scarf we’ve mostly relied on the data set of existing customers. . . . It only took us a couple of minutes to integrate the Scarf Gateway. Identify potential customers hidden within your OSS users, creating a new category of leads, Open Source Qualified Leads (OQLs)

> Marc Scholten
> 
> Founder of Digitally Induced

> Outbound outreach to Open Source Qualified Leads saw 2x higher response rates as compared to our outreach campaigns without Scarf data.
> 
> Dave Donahue
> 
> Head of Strategy, Unstructured

> Today, we track over 36,000 users visiting the documentation. We can see those who are very actively engaged in the ongoing process. This helps us reach out to people in those organizations, effectively guiding our outreach process.

> I wish I installed \[Scarf\] the day we launched our docker file.

> Scarf proved to be a valuable tool for Nestybox ... It’s one of the few tools that we used weekly and considered critical to better understand Nestybox’s users and potential customers.
> 
> Cesar Talledo
> 
> Co-Founder of Nestybox (Acquired by Docker)

> The list of companies that surfaced from our data in Scarf was important for fundraising to show real-world usage. Showing that big companies were not only downloading Budibase but downloading every new version we released was huge.

> Michael Shanks
> 
> Co-Founder & CEO at Budibase

> We have been using Scarf to understand how Redpanda is being adopted, and most importantly, how to prioritize engineering efforts for the product. Turns out the world loves Redpanda + Kubernetes more than we thought!
