Why OSSeva
We are not a binary vendor.
We are a runtime partner.
That distinction is the whole story. Here's what it means in practice.
We patch the runtime, not just the library.
Most EOL support specialists focus on application-layer frameworks — npm packages, Maven JARs, NuGet assemblies. OSSeva operates at the infrastructure layer: messaging brokers, event streams, databases, JVM runtimes. We patch the thing that moves your data, not just the thing that calls it.
We design the architecture around it.
Dropping in a patched binary doesn't tell you whether your RabbitMQ cluster is sized for your traffic pattern, or whether your Postgres vacuum schedule is going to cause a production incident at quarter-end. OSSeva Assure includes real architectural review by engineers who have run these systems at Fortune scale.
We operate it when you want us to.
HeroDevs and OpenLogic sell you the patched software and wish you luck. OSSeva Operate puts our team on call for your system — 24/7 monitoring, 15-minute P1 response, named engineers who read your runbooks before an incident, not during.
One contract closes every gap.
Your auditor doesn't want three contracts from three vendors. They want one attestation that covers the runtime, the architecture controls, the patch cadence, and the incident response process. That's what OSSeva delivers under a single SOW.
That's why customers exiting Broadcom, Confluent, and Oracle pick OSSeva. They wanted a vendor who understood the full cost of operating EOL infrastructure — not just the binary line item.

Frequently asked questions
Why not just upgrade to the latest version instead of patching EOL software?
Major version upgrades are high-risk, time-consuming, and expensive. For a typical enterprise running RabbitMQ 3.11 across 50 production vhosts, a migration to RabbitMQ 4.x involves testing hundreds of consumers and producers, validating quorum queue behavior changes, updating client libraries, and scheduling downtime windows. This work often takes 6–18 months. OSSeva patches the EOL version so you can stay secure while planning a deliberate, properly resourced migration — rather than a panic upgrade driven by an audit finding.
How does OSSeva differ from OpenLogic?
OpenLogic (an Perforce company) provides a broad catalog of open-source support across hundreds of packages, with a generalist support model. OSSeva is a specialist: we cover the enterprise messaging, streaming, and data stack specifically, with deep engineering expertise in Erlang/OTP, Kafka internals, Spring Framework, and PostgreSQL. OSSeva also provides managed operations and compliance documentation that OpenLogic does not typically offer.
Does running EOL open-source software create a compliance problem?
In most regulated industries, yes. PCI DSS Requirement 6.3.3 explicitly requires that all software components are protected against known vulnerabilities. HIPAA and SOC 2 have equivalent requirements. Running an EOL runtime with unpatched CVEs is increasingly cited as a direct audit finding. OSSeva eliminates this finding by providing patched builds and the attestation documentation auditors need to see.
What is the risk of running EOL RabbitMQ, Kafka, or PostgreSQL in production?
The risk is concrete and growing. EOL runtimes continue to receive CVE disclosures — the project maintainers simply stop releasing fixes. Each unpatched CVE is a known, exploitable vulnerability. For example, CVE-2026-41823 (AMQP 1.0 frame parsing crash in RabbitMQ 3.11–3.13) was disclosed after those versions reached EOL — without OSSeva, there is no official patch available. The vulnerability remains exploitable by anyone who knows the CVE ID.
Can OSSeva replace a commercial vendor like Broadcom for RabbitMQ or Spring support?
Yes. OSSeva is designed specifically to provide an enterprise-grade alternative to Broadcom's commercial support for RabbitMQ, Spring Framework, and VMware GemFire. OSSeva matches commercial support on the dimensions enterprises actually need — CVE patches, compliance documentation, architectural review, and incident response — without the per-core licensing model, 72-core minimums, or proprietary lock-in.
