Why Rootly Loves Open Source

At Rootly, open source isn’t just something we use—it’s core to who we are. We believe that the best incident management practices should be accessible to everyone, and that collaboration across the industry makes us all better at keeping systems reliable.

Our Philosophy

Building on the Shoulders of Giants Rootly is built on top of countless open source projects that power modern infrastructure. From the frameworks that run our platform to the monitoring tools that integrate with our product, we owe a tremendous debt to the open source community. Giving Back We’re committed to contributing back to the ecosystem that has enabled us to build Rootly. Whether it’s through open sourcing our own tools, contributing to projects we depend on, or sponsoring developers and foundations, we believe in active participation in the community. Transparency and Trust Open source embodies the values we hold dear: transparency, collaboration, and continuous improvement. These same values guide how we build our product and work with our customers.
