Release Program · 2026–2027
The road from a private open-source alpha to a generally available managed cloud, in twelve milestones across four phases.
First 40 design partners get repo access and a weekly build channel.
The extension surface stops moving so the ecosystem can start building.
Docker Compose and Helm paths, plus the docs site at docs.fernwood.dev.
Repo goes public under Apache-2.0; 2,100 stars in the first ten days.
Managed Fernwood behind a waitlist: provisioning, upgrades, and backups run by us.
External firm pressure-tests tenant boundaries before any shared-plane customer data.
Usage metering, invoicing, and payment provider integration. Vendor contract still unsigned; two-week slip possible.
First 100 paying teams off the waitlist, single region, white-glove onboarding.
Unblocks the mid-market pipeline waiting on a compliance letter.
Feature freeze across engine and cloud; only stability and docs work after this point.
Public pricing page, a real free tier for the community, and self-serve checkout.
Fernwood Cloud opens to everyone: two regions, 99.9% SLA, launch week with the community.
