Introduction to OpenFrame OSS Tenant

OpenFrame OSS Tenant is the open-source foundation of the OpenFrame platform — an AI-powered MSP (Managed Service Provider) platform built by Flamingo that replaces expensive proprietary software with intelligent automation.

What Is OpenFrame OSS Tenant?

OpenFrame OSS Tenant is a multi-service, multi-tenant platform that integrates device management, real-time messaging, and AI-assisted support into a single cohesive system. It provides the infrastructure that enables MSPs to:

• Manage endpoints across Windows, macOS, and Linux through a cross-platform Rust agent
• Deliver AI-powered helpdesk interactions through Mingo AI (for technicians) and Fae (for clients)
• Stream events in real-time across Kafka, NATS, and Apache Pinot
• Enforce strict multi-tenant data isolation through OAuth2/OIDC and JWT-scoped APIs

Key Features

Target Audience

OpenFrame OSS Tenant is designed for:

• MSP Teams looking to reduce vendor costs while gaining AI-assisted automation
• Platform Engineers building or extending an MSP platform on open-source infrastructure
• Developers contributing to or building integrations on top of OpenFrame

High-Level Architecture Overview

OpenFrame OSS Tenant is a polyglot microservice system built with Java (Spring Boot 3.3), Rust, and TypeScript (React + Tauri). All client traffic passes through the Spring Cloud Gateway before reaching backend services.
