Simplifying Open-Source Innovation on the Cloud
FOSSonCloud is a service by Ordinary Experts, an AWS DevOps consultancy established since 2014. We specialize in Infrastructure as Code and provide pre-configured AWS Marketplace patterns for deploying open-source applications.
Our Mission
We aim to empower businesses and developers to leverage open-source technologies on cloud infrastructure without deployment complexity. Our ready-to-use deployment patterns let you focus on your mission, not infrastructure management.
Core Values
Simplicity
Ready-to-use deployment patterns that just work. No need to become an infrastructure expert to run production-grade open-source software.
Scalability
Solutions designed to expand with organizational needs. Start small and grow without re-architecting.
Transparency
Built on open-source principles with community support. Our patterns use AWS CDK and Python, giving you full visibility into what’s being deployed.
Our History
Founded in 2020, Ordinary Experts began publishing deployment patterns for popular open-source projects. Our first AWS Marketplace offering was Drupal with deployment pipelines.
Since then, we’ve expanded to include:
- Video conferencing (Jitsi)
- Microblogging (Mastodon)
- Photo sharing (Pixelfed)
- Video hosting (PeerTube)
- Team chat (Zulip)
- Forums (Discourse)
- And more…
Technical Foundation
All of our patterns are built using Python and AWS CDK, utilizing a shared component library for consistency and AWS feature integration across offerings. This means:
- Consistent architecture across all products
- Regular security updates
- AWS best practices built-in
- Full Infrastructure as Code visibility
