Is open source taking a back seat?
No — open source remains at the core of Ory.
The Ory Network and the Ory Enterprise License are commercial offerings designed to fund and accelerate the development of Ory Open Source. They enable long-term sustainability, support enterprise requirements, and provide capabilities that are difficult to deliver through open source alone — such as multi-tenancy, analytics, SLAs, SRE support, high scalability, high availability, globally distributed low-latency infrastructure, and more.
Both Ory Network and the Ory Enterprise License are built on top of the Ory Open Source code base. They use the same APIs, features, and configurations, with enhancements tailored for multi-tenant architectures and enterprise-grade security and operations.
Ory is committed to continuing the growth of its open-source ecosystem — making it even more accessible, customizable, and developer-friendly. The commercial offerings play a key role in accelerating and sustaining the development of Ory Open Source.
