Pilot Customer Programme
We develop DevStack for and with our users.
Become part of the pilot customer programme and get your wishes and requirements directly implemented in the DevStack product.
What is the DevStack Pliot Customer Programme?
The DevStack Pilot Customer Programme gives companies the opportunity to get early access to the DevStack RDE platform.
As we continue to further develop DevStack, we are guided by the wishes of our pilot customers to decide which featuers we implement and how we design it. As a pilot customer you’ll get comprehensive support from us free of charge, as well as significant discounts on the licence. In return, you and your developers give us a lot of feedback on a regular basis. We will work together to bring DevStack to perfection until the summer of 2024.
If you meet the following requirements, you can apply for the pilot customer programme:
- You are a software company with headquarters in the EU or Switzerland
- The software you are developing and want to use DevStack for is:
- Server software (not pure client or desktop software, not exclusively a mobile app or embedded software, although all of these can be part of the stack)
- It runs on Linux
- Separates Backend and Frontend (no fat client)
- In addition, DevStack supports all programming languages and developer toolstacks
- You see the value of remote development environments and are willing to invest time in implementing and evaluating DevStack in your company.
If you are unsure whether you meet the requirements, contact us and we will discuss your situation individually.
