Encode

Collaboratively funded software development
We aim to develop the highest quality open-source software. By encouraging a shared funding approach, we're able to offer exceptionally well designed & maintained products.
An investment in your company
Every new sign-up directly contributes towards more hours being available for open-source development & maintenance. Our sponsorships are an opportunity to invest in the tools your engineers rely on, day after day.
We're currently cooking up something fresh for 2025, which we'll be open-sourcing soon. Watch this space.
A stronger ecosystem for all
Working alongside others in the community we've authored and released to the public domain key parts of the Python ecosystem, including Django REST framework, MkDocs, Uvicorn, Starlette & HTTPX.
Our business operation is open & transparent. We do not take equity investment, and our work is not for sale.
Encode OSS is a UK limited company, trading since 2016.
