Our first open-source project

October 11, 2023

It’s safe to say we couldn’t have built Connhex without open-source software: standing on the shoulders of giants, as a smart man once said.

We’ve had a feeling of uneasiness about not being able to give something back for quite a while: that’s changing today.

Let’s go back to a couple of weeks ago. Alberto and I were talking, when he looked at me and said: “You know what we should do? We should release our Python template!1. It immediately made sense:

  • it is generic enough to be useful to a lot of people
  • it is small enough that maintaining and supporting it properly won’t be an immense burden

It has been our starting point for multiple Connhex services - all the pythonic ones, to be precise: releasing it simply consisted in adding a README with lots of emoticons 🎉.

If you like the project2, a star is really appreciated. Anything we can add? Feel free to open an issue with your request!

👉 You can find it on GitHub here.


  1. In Italian, obviously 😂
  2. Even if you don’t, stars are still appreciated: we have a bet going on, and I’m on the more optimistic side.

👋 Hi there! We are Compiuta, an Italian sofware company focused on building products at the intersection between Industrial IoT and AI - our greatest hit so far is Connhex.

This is our blog, where we share updates on our products, things we've learnt along the way and stories about the journey that building a company from scratch is.
