Our Mission
We bring to light the world of developers by moving them out of the shadows and into the hearts and minds of millions. Open source to open stories.
The power of film, and the benefits of storytelling, drive understanding, adoption, and participation of open source solutions. Our documentaries work to expose how the open source community’s work has transformed our modern-day way of life.—Chad Torbin, Executive Producer
The Inside Story of the Prometheus Project
At KubeCon 2022 in Detroit, Speakeasy premiered “Inside Prometheus: The Open Source System That Changed Technology.”
Featuring some of the most prominent pioneers, executives, and engineers in the community, this documentary film takes viewers into the origins and meteoric rise of the Prometheus project and its path to becoming a game-changing technology celebrated by millions of developers and companies across the globe.
Kubernetes: The Documentary
Our first production was a two part series on the origins of Kubernetes. Inspired by the need for a better container orchestration system, a handful of Google engineers set out to change the world by creating one of the greatest open source projects of all time. The film gives a voice and face to the engineers who faced adversity and technical challenges in their quest to change the way we work and live today.
Inside Envoy
Envoy’s open source service proxy is considered one of the most useful and vital technologies in the world today. Envoy is our next major documentary project that carries all of the natural elements for storytelling: heroism, struggle and impact.
For us, this is a labor of love, and opportunities exist to support this unique film that brings the heroes and bold voices of the open source software community front and center and into living rooms and boardrooms everywhere.
Production Partners
Our films are made possible by many partners in technology and business. Through their financial support and sponsorship, we bring independent insights that are shaping our lives, industries and society.
