How OSSeva compares to other EOL support options

OSSeva specializes in messaging and data infrastructure — the layer where HeroDevs, TuxCare, and OpenLogic have limited or no coverage. Compare the approaches side by side.

Trusted globally by enterprises

OSSeva vs. HeroDevs

Application framework and JavaScript ecosystem EOL specialist

✓RabbitMQ, ActiveMQ, ZooKeeper and the Kafka brokers. HeroDevs publishes no coverage for these; its Kafka product is the 3.1 client library

✓Managed operations (24/7 MSP with 15-min P1 SLA) — HeroDevs is software-only

OSSeva vs. TuxCare

Linux distribution and OS/kernel EOL support specialist

✓Messaging infrastructure: RabbitMQ, ActiveMQ and ZooKeeper are not in TuxCare's published catalog, and its Kafka coverage is a single fixed version (3.2.3)

✓Architecture review and migration design — TuxCare is a software-delivery service only

OSSeva vs. OpenLogic

Broad-line open source support across 400+ technologies

✓Managed operations MSP (24/7, 15-min P1 SLA) — OpenLogic does not offer an MSP tier

✓Architecture review per runtime — OpenLogic provides generic support, not deep architectural engagement

OSSeva vs. Confluent

Commercial Kafka distribution with 3-year extended support ceiling

✓Patched community Apache Kafka builds for 2.x and 3.x lines, including ZooKeeper-mode clusters

✓Support for Kafka 3.8 and 3.9 after Confluent Platform 7.8 and 7.9 standard support ends

OSSeva vs. Bitnami Secure Images

Broadcom's paid Bitnami image catalog, replacing the free images

✓Patched images for end-of-life versions, such as PostgreSQL 11 to 14, Redis 6 to 7.2, Kafka 3.x on ZooKeeper and MongoDB 4.4 to 6.0

✓The Bitnami layout kept: the same environment variables, /bitnami data paths and non-root user, so existing Helm charts keep working

OSSeva vs. Broadcom Tanzu RabbitMQ

commercial RabbitMQ edition from the project's owner

✓RabbitMQ 3.8 to 3.12: Broadcom's commercial dates for 3.10, 3.11 and 3.12 have passed, and 3.8 and 3.9 are not on its table

✓Patched Erlang/OTP builds paired with each broker version, so the runtime under RabbitMQ is covered as well

OSSeva vs. Broadcom Tanzu Spring

commercial Spring support from the project's owner

✓Spring Boot 2.6, 3.0 and 3.1, where Broadcom's commercial dates have passed

✓Spring Security 5.6, 6.0 and 6.1 patched alongside Spring Framework 5.2 and 5.3

OSSeva vs. DepKeep

broad open source support and LTS provider

✓A published version list, such as RabbitMQ 3.8 to 3.13 and Kafka 2.8 to 3.9, that you can check before a sales call

✓A 15-minute P1 response and 24/7 managed operations on the Operate tier; DepKeep publishes next and same business day targets

OSSeva vs. Chainguard

hardened minimal container image catalog

✓Patched images for end-of-life versions, such as PostgreSQL 11 to 14, Kafka 2.8 to 3.9 on ZooKeeper and RabbitMQ 3.8 to 3.13, with fixes backported into the database or broker itself

✓No six-month cutoff: Chainguard's EOL grace period ends six months after upstream end of life and does not patch the end-of-life package

OSSeva vs. Erlang Solutions

Erlang/OTP and Elixir consultancy

✓Patched, signed builds of RabbitMQ 3.8 to 3.13 and 4.x, so a cluster you cannot upgrade yet still receives security fixes

✓Patched Erlang/OTP 24, 25 and 26 past their community end of life, shipped as tested pairs with the broker

OSSeva vs. Amazon RDS Extended Support

paid lifecycle extension inside a managed database service

✓Self-managed PostgreSQL on EC2, Kubernetes, another cloud or on premises, where RDS Extended Support does not apply

✓Patched RPM, DEB and tarball packages and Bitnami-compatible images for PostgreSQL 11 to 14, with extension compatibility validated

OSSeva vs. Amazon ElastiCache Extended Support

paid lifecycle extension inside a managed cache service

✓Self-managed Redis and Valkey on EC2, Kubernetes, another cloud or on premises, where ElastiCache Extended Support does not apply

✓Patched builds of Redis 6.2, 7.0 and 7.2 under the original BSD licence, plus Valkey 7.2 and 8.x

OSSeva vs. Percona

open source database support and services company

✓Patched PostgreSQL 11, 12, 13 and, from 12 November 2026, 14, where Percona's PostgreSQL distribution stops at the community end-of-life date

✓Contracted security fixes for MongoDB 4.2, 4.4, 5.0 and 6.0, where Percona says post-EOL MongoDB builds are best effort and not guaranteed

OSSeva vs. Instaclustr

managed open source data platform and support provider

✓Patched builds of PostgreSQL 11 to 14, which Instaclustr lists as Retired, along with 15

✓Patched Kafka 2.8 to 3.8 and ZooKeeper 3.4 to 3.7, which Instaclustr lists as Retired

OSSeva vs. Seventh State

RabbitMQ consultancy and support specialist

✓Patched, signed RabbitMQ 3.8 to 3.13 and 4.0 to 4.2 builds, so an old cluster still receives security fixes

✓Patched Erlang/OTP 24, 25 and 26 past community end of life, tested as pairs with the broker

OSSeva vs. EDB (EnterpriseDB)

PostgreSQL software and support company

✓Patched community PostgreSQL 11, 12 and 13 today, and 14 from 12 November 2026. EDB's compatibility page lists nothing older than 14

✓Support for the community binaries you run today, with no change of distribution

OSSeva vs. Redis Software (Redis Enterprise)

commercial in-memory database vendor

✓Patched Redis 6.2 and 7.0, the BSD-licensed versions many estates still run

✓Valkey 7.2 and 8.x support, for teams that want to stay on a BSD licence going forward

OSSeva vs. Broadcom TrueSource

commercial open source software portfolio

✓Patched RabbitMQ 3.8 to 4.2, including 4.0, whose commercial support rabbitmq.com lists as ending 30 September 2026

✓Patched PostgreSQL 11 to 13 and MySQL 5.7 and 8.0; the TrueSource announcement names no versions

OSSeva vs. MySQL Enterprise Edition

commercial edition of an open source database

✓Patched MySQL 5.7 and 8.0 Community builds; Oracle's Sustaining Support brings no new fixes

✓No commercial MySQL licence: you keep the GPL Community Edition you run

OSSeva vs. Oracle Database support

database vendor's own support

✓Community PostgreSQL with no database licence, supported from cutover

✓PostgreSQL versions supported after community end of life, so the target does not age out mid-programme

The Core Difference

The only vendor that patches, architects, and operates

Every competitor in this space delivers a patched binary and leaves you to run it. OSSeva's Operate tier puts our engineers on-call 24/7 — the same engineers who patched the binary and designed the architecture. One vendor, all three layers.
