Summary

authentik is a company now, and we’re hiring!` I'm very happy to announce the launch of Authentik Security, an open core company built around authentik. I will be leading the company as CTO, and we have incorporated as a public benefit company so the open source project will always be maintained. This move will allow me to work on authentik full time and hire a team of engineers. We've been graciously funded by Open Core Ventures, who have been a joy to work with. The current version of authentik will stay open source and continue to be developed. We will add business-focused features like auditing and compliance to the source-available enterprise version over time. No existing features will be removed from the open source version with the intention of adding them to the enterprise version. Features might still be deprecated, but they won’t show up on the enterprise version. Features from the enterprise version will regularly be open-sourced. In fact, a lot of resources will go into the open source version, so everyone can benefit from them. Overall, very exciting times ahead as we hire full time developers, copy-writers, designers, etc to make authentik better for everyone.
