We release all artefacts as edge because maintaining stable, versioned releases is not just "tagging a commit", it requires a lot of additional work, such as: packaging, extensive testing, smoke tests, SBOM generation, and long-term maintenance. As a self-bootstrapped company, we need to balance what we can sustainably give to the community for free versus what we can support as a business. That's why we decided to follow the same model that Linkerd adopted: the public artefacts are released as edge builds. These are reliable to the best of our ability, but they don't come with warranty or certification. This doesn't mean Kamaji is not production-grade: actually, there are vendors already embedding Kamaji into their own platforms and running it in production (Cozystack, OVHcloud, IONOS, NVIDIA, Platform9). For companies that need stronger assurances, we provide a subscription that gives access to stable, tested releases with guarantees (including SBOMs, certified artefacts, and ongoing maintenance). This way we can keep Kamaji sustainable in the long term, while still ensuring the community has open access to the technology. |
