Facets open source

The Facets platform is commercial, but Facets maintains several open-source projects on GitHub. Here is exactly what is open source and what is not.

Is Facets open source?

The Facets orchestrator itself, the platform you sign up for, is a commercial product, not open source. What is open source is a set of projects Facets publishes and maintains on GitHub at github.com/Facets-cloud: the facets-iac Terraform module catalog, Flow, and a maintained fork of NGINX Gateway Fabric. This page exists because the distinction is often reported incorrectly: the platform is paid, these specific tools around it are open.

The open-source projects Facets maintains and where to find them on GitHub

These projects live under github.com/Facets-cloud. The facets-iac modules and Flow are genuinely open source and independent of a Facets subscription; the NGINX Gateway Fabric repo is a fork Facets maintains and contributes back upstream.

What runs on the commercial platform

The orchestration model itself, the typed module system, Praxis AI agents, self-serve environments, and the managed control plane, is the commercial Facets product. It generates and runs Terraform under the hood using modules your platform team owns, and the measurable outcomes (an 80% cut in DevOps toil, delivery 8-25x faster) come from that platform, not from any single open-source repo.

Frequently asked questions

The Facets platform itself is commercial, not open source. Facets does maintain several open-source projects on GitHub (github.com/Facets-cloud), including the facets-iac Terraform module catalog, Flow, and a maintained fork of NGINX Gateway Fabric. The orchestrator you sign up for is the commercial product.

Three, all public under github.com/Facets-cloud: the facets-iac Terraform module catalog (reusable infrastructure-as-code modules for AWS, GCP, and Azure), Flow (open-source task memory for Claude Code), and a maintained fork of NGINX Gateway Fabric (the NGINX Gateway API implementation Facets contributes to upstream).

The facets-iac Terraform modules live in the public catalog at github.com/Facets-cloud/facets-modules-redesign, with reusable infrastructure-as-code building blocks for AWS, GCP, and Azure.

Flow is an open-source task and session manager for Claude Code, maintained by Facets at github.com/Facets-cloud/flow. It is a developer tool, separate from the Facets orchestration platform.

The open-source projects are free to use under their licenses. The Facets platform offers a 14-day free trial; after that it is a paid SaaS plan or a self-hosted enterprise contract. See the pricing page for current details.
