No Vendor Lock-in
Fransys doesn't lock you in. You stay because the platform is useful to you, not because you're stuck.
Standard Kubernetes
Under the hood, Fransys orchestrates standard Kubernetes clusters. There's no proprietary format, no custom API, no specific runtime. Your infrastructure runs on open, widely adopted standards.
Helm export
If you decide to leave Fransys, you can export your configurations as Helm charts. These charts contain the entire definition of your infrastructure — deployments, services, volumes, environment variables — in a standard format that you can redeploy on any Kubernetes cluster.
Code portability
Your source code stays in your Git repository (GitLab, GitHub). Fransys doesn't store your code — it pulls, builds, and deploys it. If you leave, your code hasn't moved.
Data portability
Your databases run on standard engines (PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Redis). Backups are in standard formats. You can restore your data on any PostgreSQL or MariaDB instance, hosted wherever you choose.
Provider freedom
Even within Fransys, you're not tied to a single cloud provider. You can:
- Change provider — Switch from Hetzner to Scaleway or OVH
- Change region — Migrate from one datacenter to another
- Create a new cluster elsewhere and move your projects to it
No vendor lock-in isn't just a marketing argument — it's a design principle. Every technical choice in Fransys favors open standards so that you always keep control of your infrastructure.
