This project was launched as part of the startup crowd.dev. crowd.dev was acquired by the Linux Foundation in April 2024. Following the acquisition, crowd.dev was renamed to "Community Data Platform" and is now part of the LFX platform.

LFX Community Data Platform collects and stores data from across the communities in a single database for data unification, identity resolution, analysis, and activation. By utilizing this tool, the Linux Foundation can effectively identify key contributors and organizations, facilitating more efficient community support.

Key features:

• It consolidates developers' touchpoints with a company or brand.
• It captures data from community platforms, product channels, and commercial channels.
• The data is cleaned, and profiles are matched across platforms and enriched with third-party data.
• The platform provides a unified 360-degree view of developers' engagement, their companies, and their customer journey.

To get started with self-hosting, take a look at our self-hosting docs.

Our services can be deployed using Kubernetes, as well as a lightweight development environment using Docker. You can read more about it in our self-hosting docs.

We currently support all our integrations for self-hosting. For each one of them, you will need to create your own application. You can see the steps for each integration in our self-hosting integrations guide.

• Node v24+
• Docker and docker-compose
