Thanks for the comment - this is important to disclaim:
Actually, it's in DataStax's best interests for Langflow to remain free, open source, and vendor agnostic, so they're making that claim too!
That is what attracted developers to Langflow in the first place and the reason why we have such a big community. DataStax wants more developers to build on AI and we want to help developers do this, and we don't see that changing.
Rodrigo from Langflow here! I've been itching to share this news with everyone on HN, and it’s very timely given it's happening on YC Demo Day. Best of luck to all the founders demoing today!
My co-founder Gabriel and I have been building Langflow 24/7 for over a year now. We're a small, fully bootstrapped team based down in Brazil, and honestly, it was so wild to fly up to SF for the first time to meet the DataStax team in person and get this deal done. You dream about this kind of stuff when you're up at 3am fixing a `pip install` bug, and it's hard to believe it's happening.
Langflow will forever be free, open-source, and agnostic. Our mission is to make it easier for more and more developers to build AI applications, and DataStax fully supports this because more developers == more AI apps in production.
We would be nowhere without our amazing community. Thank you so much for helping us make Langflow what it is and in the coming months our plan is to make Langflow simpler and more fun to use. Happy to answer any questions!
