Publishing on Source
Why Source?
We believe no single entity should unilaterally control the systems required to share information necessary to solve global challenges
The Challenge
Data engineers, scientists, developers, and researchers often spend more time fighting infrastructure than doing their actual work. Commercial repositories force them to become part-time system administrators—wrestling with cloud configurations, scattered sources, and integration barriers before productive work begins. Unpredictable costs, tricky integration processes, and collaboration barriers prevent the seamless sharing and reproducibility truly needed. When commercial entities control access to data systems, expertise gets diverted from solving global challenges to simply accessing data.Why Source?The Mission
Source.coop allows trusted organizations and individuals to publish data of any kind at any scale without needing to build or maintain their own infrastructure.We believe no single entity should unilaterally control the systems required to share information necessary to solve global challenges

FAQs
How is Source Different?
While object storage services like Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure Blob Storage can store data, they don't make it discoverable or accessible to others. Source is a utility built on top of cloud object storage services that provides a public catalog, standardized access, and community visibility that raw cloud storage can't offer.
