Bitalia is an open source organization focused on building enterprise-grade infrastructure and platform software that is truly open source — in both license and spirit.
Our mission is simple:
Build modern, production-ready software that teams can trust, adopt freely, and scale with — without artificial feature gating, closed-core models, or enterprise-only lock-ins.
Many open source projects today reserve critical features (RBAC, SSO, audit logs, multi-tenancy, etc.) for paid enterprise editions.
We believe this breaks the original spirit of open source.
At Bitalia:
- There will never be features available only in an “enterprise” edition.
- All functionality will be fully open source.
- All enterprise-grade capabilities will be part of the core OSS projects.
- Self-hosted and hosted versions will have the same feature set.
In the future, we may offer hosted managed services for convenience — but the exact same capabilities will always remain available in the open source versions.
Bitalia focuses on foundational platform primitives for modern software teams, including:
- Identity and access control
- Authorization and RBAC
- Observability (logs, metrics, traces)
- API and platform tooling
- Developer infrastructure
Our first flagship project:
Kroton is a lightweight, high-performance identity and authorization control plane for modern applications.
It provides:
- Built-in SSO (OIDC)
- Multi-tenancy
- RBAC
- Audit logs
- API-first design
All fully open source.
We commit to:
- No closed-core
- No feature gating
- No enterprise-only binaries
- No artificial license restrictions
- No vendor lock-in
What you see in the repository is what you get — now and forever.
We welcome:
- Contributors
- Early adopters
- Design feedback
- Real-world use cases
- Collaboration
If you care about sustainable, principled open source infrastructure, you’ll feel at home here.
