Hear it from our customers
Oliver Gould
Co-Founder / CTO Buoyant
Scarf makes it easy to understand how quickly new versions of Linkerd are being adopted and which components are being deployed—data that the container registries have and don't share with us otherwise.

Mark Fussell
CEO and founder of Diagrid, co-creator of Dapr
Today, we track over 36,000 users visiting the documentation. We can see those who are very actively engaged in the ongoing process. This helps us reach out to people in those organizations, effectively guiding our outreach process.

Mo Firouz
Co-founder of Heroic Labs
It's much more popular than we thought. At this stage, we have about 9 million Docker downloads. By monitoring the SDK and game server downloads, we can understand the popularity of different SDKs and the specific uses of the game server, which we couldn't do before.
Dave Donahue
Head of Strategy, Unstructured
Outbound outreach to Open Source Qualified Leads saw 2x higher response rates as compared to our outreach campaigns without Scarf data.
Marc Scholten
Founder of Digitally Induced
It’s important for us to understand who is using [our OSS web framework] IHP. Before using Scarf we’ve mostly relied on the data set of existing customers. . . . It only took us a couple of minutes to integrate the Scarf Gateway.
Peer Richelsen
Co-CEO, Chairman
I wish I installed [Scarf] the day we launched our docker file.
Alexander Gallego
Founder & CEO, Redpanda Data
[We have] been using Scarf to understand how Redpanda is being adopted, and most importantly, how to prioritize engineering efforts for the product. Turns out the world loves Redpanda + Kubernetes more than we thought!
Cesar Talledo
Co-Founder of Nestybox (Acquired by Docker)
Scarf proved to be a valuable tool for Nestybox ... It’s one of the few tools that we used weekly and considered critical to better understand Nestybox’s users and potential customers.
Michael Shanks
Co-Founder & CEO at Budibase
The list of companies that surfaced from our data in Scarf was important for fundraising to show real-world usage. Showing that big companies were not only downloading Budibase but downloading every new version we released was huge.

Scarf Gateway is the missing admin dashboard for our container hosting, making it easy to understand how quickly new versions of Linkerd are being adopted and which components are being deployed—data that the container registries have and don't share with us otherwise.
