Infrastructure companies give back to the infrastructure layer.
We build and maintain open source tools that solve real problems in African digital infrastructure. Well-maintained open source is a trust signal — it proves we can actually build and ship software.
Why open source
Trust through transparency.
Technical evaluators inside client organizations look for signals. Open source is one of the strongest. It shows the team can write maintainable code, respond to issues, and ship real software. Over time, this becomes a community. For now, it is a commitment to the ecosystem.
Built with Imhotep tooling
Our open source tools are built using the same infrastructure we deploy for clients. They are not side projects — they are battle-tested components of the Forge platform that we have made available to the community.
- Tools we use in production deployments
- Maintained with the same quality standards as commercial products
- Real issues from real deployments drive development priorities
- Community contributions welcome and reviewed by the core team
- Documentation that reflects actual usage, not marketing copy

Contribution guide
How to contribute.
We welcome contributions from the community. Whether it is bug reports, feature requests, or pull requests, we review everything and respond within 48 hours.
Read the contributing guidelines
Each project has a CONTRIBUTING.md file that outlines our code standards, commit message format, and review process.
Fork and create a branch
Fork the repository and create a descriptive branch name for your changes. Use conventional commit format for your messages.
Submit a pull request
Open a PR with a clear description of what you are changing and why. Include tests if you are adding or modifying functionality.
Review and iterate
We will review your PR within 48 hours. Be prepared for feedback and iteration. We merge when tests pass and review is approved.
Community
Building in public.
Over time, this page will become a community hub. For now, it is a commitment to transparency. Follow our GitHub organization for updates on new releases, issues, and contributions.
We do not build in a vacuum. We build in public, on infrastructure we run ourselves.
Every open source tool we publish has been through the same production review as our commercial products. docker-compose-doctor was born from debugging deployments for Klinik and Vault. africa-data-validators was extracted from the validation logic that powers Kanda's credit scoring. forge-dil-sdk is the same SDK our enterprise clients use.
Open source is not charity. It is proof of work. When you see our code, you see how we think about error handling, testing, documentation, and maintainability. That transparency is the trust signal that separates real engineering teams from marketing operations.
