Work and outcomes · Techtons by Conseiltek

Every product we know how to replace.

Techtons is our open library of reference applications. Each entry is a working implementation of a system most companies rent, published under Apache-2.0 so you can read the engineering before you talk to anyone here about it.

What it is

Reference implementations, not case studies

An entry is a repository you can clone, deploy and read. There is no logo wall and no screenshot of a dashboard nobody can log into. If we claim we can replace a product, the claim is a codebase with the architecture and the arithmetic attached.

Why daily

One new application every day

A daily cadence is the only publishing schedule that cannot be faked by a quarterly marketing push. It also keeps the argument honest: if rebuilding a licensed product is as cheap as we say it is, then producing one a day is what that should look like.

The licence

Apache-2.0, with no strings

Every repository is Apache-2.0, including the patent grant. Take it, fork it, run it, sell what you build on it, and hire someone else to do the work. The licence is generous and the warranties are none, which is the normal arrangement and is worth stating rather than implying. See the terms.

The name

Techtons is the name of the open library. Conseiltek is the firm that builds it, and every application here is engineering the firm is paid to do, published with the architecture, the parity matrix and the cost model left in.

How to read an entry

Parity matrix

Every entry contains at least two rows where our honest answer is no. Read those first — they are the fastest way to work out whether this applies to you.

Cost model

Infrastructure only, for a stated reference organisation, with the assumptions listed. The build is quoted separately and is never hidden inside a run-rate.

Prices

Vendor list prices with a source link and the date checked. Where a vendor does not publish pricing, we say so rather than inventing a number.

Want something that is not here? Tell us and we will build it next.

Pick one contract. We will show you the replacement.

A two-week assessment: we take your single most expensive SaaS line item, establish what you actually use, and come back with a parity matrix, an architecture for AWS and Azure, a cost model and a delivery plan. Fixed price. If the answer is keep buying it, we will tell you that.
