Cesar Talledo is the Co-Founder & CEO of NestyBox. Nestybox was founded in 2019 with the goal of creating software to enhance Linux container security and workloads.
The Nestybox team needed a way to track downloads of their Docker Images from Dockerhub. They could track basic information with GitHub’s built-in traffic information. However, they wanted to see more information about the users and potential customers that were downloading their software. They worried typical solutions like adding telemetry to the software would scare potential adopters.
Nestybox began using Scarf to track more detailed data insights. Scarf helped by providing further insight into which companies were downloading and using their software. It provided more concrete data like company names and the number of times each company downloaded their packages. Scarf stored all historical data, which allowed them to gather better stats.
Scarf provided Nestybox with deeper insights into which companies were downloading their open-source software and opened new opportunities for the company during their recent acquisition.
