Alternatives to HeroDevs, TuxCare, OpenLogic and Broadcom
for end-of-life open source
The right alternative depends on the layer you need covered. For application frameworks, HeroDevs, TuxCare and OpenLogic overlap. For operating systems, TuxCare and OpenLogic. For the infrastructure underneath, such as RabbitMQ, Kafka, ZooKeeper, MongoDB, PostgreSQL and Hadoop, OSSeva ships patched builds today and can run the clusters too.

Alternatives to HeroDevs
HeroDevs is strongest on end-of-life application frameworks, especially JavaScript. Its published list has no RabbitMQ, Kafka, ZooKeeper, Redis, MongoDB or Elasticsearch. For those, OSSeva is the alternative. For frameworks, TuxCare and OpenLogic also publish coverage.
Alternatives to TuxCare
TuxCare is strongest on operating systems, kernels and language libraries. Its middleware coverage is limited to a few named versions. For brokers, databases, coordination and Hadoop-era platforms, OSSeva is the alternative. For CentOS, OpenLogic also offers LTS.
Alternatives to OpenLogic by Perforce
OpenLogic supports more than 400 technologies, but its patched end-of-life product (LTS) lists eight. If the version you need patched is outside that list, such as RabbitMQ 3.x, ZooKeeper 3.x or MongoDB 5.0, OSSeva ships builds for it.
Alternatives to Broadcom (Tanzu, Bitnami Secure Images)
Broadcom supports its own Spring, RabbitMQ and Bitnami catalogue. Teams leaving it keep the same versions running with OSSeva: patched RabbitMQ 3.x with its Erlang/OTP runtime, patched Spring, and Bitnami-layout images for pinned end-of-life versions.
Alternatives to Confluent
Confluent supports its own platform within a fixed window. For community Apache Kafka past that window, including ZooKeeper-mode clusters on 2.8 to 3.9, OSSeva ships patched builds.
Frequently asked questions
What are the alternatives to HeroDevs?
TuxCare and OpenLogic for frameworks and libraries, and OSSeva for the brokers, databases and coordination services HeroDevs does not list. For Spring specifically, Broadcom also sells commercial support.
What are the alternatives to TuxCare?
OpenLogic for CentOS and a broad support contract, HeroDevs for application frameworks, and OSSeva for messaging, data and ZooKeeper-dependent stacks.
What are the alternatives to OpenLogic?
HeroDevs and TuxCare for frameworks and libraries, and OSSeva for patched end-of-life builds of the infrastructure outside OpenLogic's eight LTS products.
What are the alternatives to Broadcom for Spring, RabbitMQ and Bitnami?
For Spring, HeroDevs, TuxCare, OpenLogic and OSSeva. For RabbitMQ 3.x and its Erlang/OTP runtime, OSSeva. For Bitnami images, Docker Hardened Images and Chainguard on current versions, or OSSeva for pinned end-of-life versions in the Bitnami layout.
Is there one vendor for the whole stack?
Not for patched end-of-life builds. Each vendor covers some layers well. Map your estate by layer first, then pick one vendor per layer.
