Ever Gauzy
An “Open Business Management Platform” — ERP, CRM, HRM, ATS, project and task management, sales, financial and cost management, inventory, supply chain and production, in one codebase. 4.3k stars, 858 forks, 27,198 commits on develop, 414 open issues and 43 open pull requests as of 2026-08-09. TypeScript throughout: NestJS on the server, Angular and RxJS on the client, TypeORM and MikroORM for persistence, Nx and Lerna holding the monorepo together. Self-hostable by Docker Compose in three configurations — demo, production-minimal, and a full local build — with PostgreSQL, Redis, OpenSearch, MinIO and Jitsu as optional infrastructure.
The largest self-hosting ask in the corpus
Everything else here installs. anysoftkeyboard is an APK. hometube is one container. omniwm is a signed binary. Gauzy is a distributed application with a monorepo build, a relational database, a cache, a search cluster, an object store and an analytics pipeline behind it, and the operator who chooses to run it has taken on all of that plus the upgrade path.
That makes it the corpus’s test of how far the self-hosting argument stretches. Declining to rent a keyboard costs nothing. Declining to rent an ERP means becoming the person who restores the database at 2am — and unlike the SaaS competitor it replaces, nobody is paid to notice that the backup has been failing for a month. The open-source-alternative frame prices the licence and is silent about this.
Licensing is a tier list, not a licence
The default is the “Ever® Gauzy™ Platform Community Edition License” under AGPL-3.0, and there are also Small Business and Enterprise tiers. The shape is open-core: the AGPL both protects the project against a hosted fork and functions as the reason a company with lawyers upgrades to a paid tier. The same licence appears on hometube with none of that apparatus behind it, which shows how much of the meaning here comes from the commercial structure rather than the licence text.
The vendor’s own SaaS is in alpha
Worth stating exactly, because it inverts the usual reading. The hosted offering at app.gauzy.co
carries the project’s own warning that it is “currently in Alpha version/testing mode, please use
it cautiously!”
For most open-core products the hosted service is the mature path and self-hosting is the do-it-yourself option. Here the vendor is telling you its own managed version is not ready. Combined with 414 open issues, that is a maturity signal about the platform as a whole, not just the SaaS — and it is the kind of statement to date carefully, since it can change without the README changing.
What is not established
- No deployment evidence. No named production users, no scale figures, no case studies held here. A repository with 27,198 commits proves sustained effort, not that anyone runs it for payroll.
- The breadth is a claim. Nine functional modules is a very large surface for a project this size; nothing here tests how complete any single one is, and open-source ERP has a long history of broad module lists over thin implementations.
- No comparison to the incumbents. The obvious question — how this stands against Odoo, ERPNext or the proprietary suites — is unanswered by anything in this corpus.
Connections
With hometube, one of the corpus’s two self-hosting cases, and the one that shows the practice’s upper bound. Listed in the category that openalternative catalogues, and a good example of why star-ranking flatters simple tools: 4.3k stars for nine business modules against 6.6k for a list of links.
