Every modern stack runs on open source. The question is whether anyone on your team is tracking the 200 transitive dependencies that shipped last Tuesday. We provide open source development services with the governance and security discipline that keeps your dependencies from becoming your biggest liability.
Why Entalogics for open source
81% of audited codebases have high-risk vulnerabilities. 68% have license conflicts. Those aren't edge cases — that's the open source development default when nobody owns governance. We make sure your project isn't part of that statistic.
SBOM generated from day one, CVE databases monitored continuously, patching enforced before it waits for someone to read a security advisory. Open source development company discipline — not hopeful reviewing.
GPL in a proprietary binary is a lawsuit waiting for a trigger. License conflicts caught in CI and policies built into the pipeline — not discovered in a quarterly spreadsheet six months after the dependency landed.
79% of codebases contain libraries with zero activity in two years. We identify abandoned open source components early and replace them before they become the vulnerability nobody can fix because the maintainer disappeared.
Critical dependencies wrapped in typed interfaces so swapping a library touches one adapter — not fifty files scattered across the codebase. Open source development that survives the next upstream breaking change.
When open source, when not
Using open source well requires more discipline than building from scratch. We'll tell you honestly where it accelerates your product and where it introduces risk you shouldn't carry.

What we build with open source
Where open source engineering shows up most in our work — each with security governance and license compliance built in from the first commit, not the last.
Next.js, Django, Rails, Spring Boot — production platforms with dependency governance, SBOM generation, and vulnerability scanning wired in before the first deploy.
Keycloak, Supabase, Metabase on your own infrastructure — no vendor lock-in, no subscription you can't cancel. Properly configured, hardened, with upgrade paths and an operational runbook your team actually needs.
Patches contributed upstream where possible, maintained forks when necessary, rebased against upstream on a schedule so they don't drift into a self-inflicted maintenance nightmare.
SaaS built on open source components with license compliance enforced in CI, SBOM generated per release, and a legal-ready audit trail for due diligence and M&A events.
Replace the SaaS subscription with a self-hosted alternative you actually control — n8n instead of Zapier, NocoDB instead of Airtable. Properly configured, secured, and backed up. Not a Docker Compose file someone found on GitHub.
Inherited 300 unpatched CVEs and license conflicts? We triage by real exploitability, patch what matters, replace what's abandoned, and hand you a clean SBOM at the end.
The playbook
Governance built into every open source development engagement — not compliance checklists copied from a blog post.
P01
Every project generates a Software Bill of Materials on every build. You know what shipped, which version, and under which license — before anyone asks during due diligence.
P02
GPL in a proprietary codebase fails the build, not a quarterly review six months after the dependency was quietly added to the lockfile.
P03
Snyk, Trivy, or Grype runs on every pull request and on a scheduled cron. Critical CVEs trigger an alert, not a Jira ticket that sits for three sprints.
P04
Every new open source dependency evaluated on maintainer count, release cadence, and license compatibility before it enters the lockfile at all.
P05
Critical libraries wrapped in internal interfaces so swapping one library touches one adapter. The rest of the codebase doesn't know or care what changed underneath.
P06
When a fork is unavoidable, it stays rebased against upstream with automated conflict detection. Forks that drift become liabilities — we don't let them.
Signature case
A B2B fintech preparing for acquisition — 340 unpatched CVEs, 12 license conflicts including GPL in proprietary code, 47 abandoned libraries. Triaged by exploitability, patched critical paths, delivered a clean SBOM in 6 weeks. Acquisition closed on schedule.
Before
340 CVEs · 12 license conflicts · 47 abandoned deps · no SBOM · due diligence blocked
After
0 critical CVEs · 0 license conflicts · all deps maintained · full SBOM · due diligence cleared
Engagement shape
Every open source development engagement starts with an audit. What ships at the end is a codebase where every dependency is tracked, licensed, and patched — not just scanned.
Two senior open source engineers go through the entire dependency tree — SBOM generation, CVE triage, license conflict mapping, abandoned dep inventory. A ranked remediation plan with real priorities, not a raw scan dump.
Highest-risk CVEs patched, license conflicts resolved, SBOM pipeline wired into CI. Real governance in your build before the end of week three, not a report sitting in someone's inbox.
Dependency by dependency — abandoned libraries replaced, outdated versions upgraded, typed wrappers added around volatile open source APIs. Your team keeps shipping the entire time.
Clean SBOM. License policy running in CI. CVE monitoring on autopilot. Runbook handed to your team — or we stay on retainer.
Stack
Governance tooling chosen for accuracy and CI integration.
Verified feedback from Upwork, Clutch, and reference calls we're happy to set up before you sign anything.
CEO, Modestly
Entalogics has successfully delivered extension prototypes on time, and we are impressed with their project management and the finished product. The client communicates with Entalogics via virtual meetings, email, and messaging apps.
Founder, Flourish Schools
Collaborating with Entalogics was a great experience. Communication was clear, we aligned quickly, and their team delivered high-quality code on time with thoughtful technical decisions.
CTO, SentryBay
Their Chromium expertise helped us ship a hardened browser with live threat controls and enterprise rollout support. Security operations became significantly faster.
Founder, G3 Ventures LLC
Entalogics delivered our custom Electron browser in six months with isolated profile workflows and stable policy sync. Agent onboarding improved by 55% after rollout.
Project Manager, Sociall
Entalogics built our iOS Chromium-based mobile app with a smooth native feel, stable media rendering, and reliable sync. We shipped faster and improved engagement after launch.
RozmeriGPT
The web dashboard and Chrome extension now share prompts, billing, and analytics in one platform. Our content turnaround improved 4x after launch.
Project Manager, Omni Browser
Entalogics built our Omni Browser on top of Chromium with deep product-level execution. They implemented an integrated VPN and Omni Crypto Wallet directly in the browser, made strong architectural decisions, and delivered quality code on schedule with clear communication.
Project Manager, Digital Office: Aura
Entalogics built Digital Office: Aura as a custom Chromium-based authentication platform. Their team modified Chromium internals and integrated our manual custom authentication flow with reliable implementation, fast delivery, and consistent communication.
Engagement
No hourly retainer billing for "thinking time." Every path is fixed-quote or transparently rated.
A defined scope, a fixed price, a senior-only team. From audit to clean SBOM in 6–10 weeks.
FIXED SCOPE
A pod of senior open source engineers embedded in your Slack, your Linear, your standups — handling dependency governance, security remediation, and upstream contributions. Resize or pause with 30 days' notice.
PER ENGINEER
For product orgs that need more than delivery — a long-term open source consulting partner: SBOM program, license compliance, security monitoring, hiring help.
