Really like the idea - think there's a super decent market for this kind of solution.

Only thing I'd be aware about though is making sure you're on the right side of licensing for all the vendors you're using (/ possibly who you've talked with to make sure the usage is ok).

Off the top I saw N8N on the homepage who are a little more strict about their licensing for cloud vendors. There's also Airbyte and Redpanda who use Elastic and BSL licenses to try and deter cloud vendors from packaging some parts of their services.

Dystopian thanks for raising this point :)

Yes, indeed, we are monitoring this and of course we have removed all SSPL softwares from our catalog.

Airbyte license is MIT, and deploying elasticsearch as part of another software should not be an issue (but I'm not a lawyer and might be wrong), from my understanding what's forbidden is to offer Elasticsearch as a SaaS service but using it as part of a solution like Airbyte is OK. We don't offer Elasticsearch but we offer Opensearch as an alternative.

N8N seems to be under Apache 2 license with Commons Clause (https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/blob/master/LICENSE.md), I do see now that there is a specific clause about hosting fees, we do charge for management fees and also hosting fees. I'll try to contact them directly and check if we can sign a contract with them, if not it will definitely be removed from our catalog.

We really want to be on the good side of this, we want to create a sustainable stream of revenue to open-source authors, not killing them. So we will definitely comply with licenses and law.
