Communication infrastructure for technical teams.
RustChat is open-source, self-hosted communication infrastructure for technical teams, DevOps teams, SRE teams, platform teams, and AI-focused companies. Keep your channels, threads, files, calls, search, operational discussions, and AI agents in one private communication layer under your own control. Suitable for evaluation by teams comfortable with open-source software in Public Preview.
Designed for systems and developers.
Rather than a generic social chat, RustChat focuses on high-utility technical messaging, incident resolution, and developer signal capture.
DevOps & SRE Incident Coordination
Create dedicated channels for active incidents, pin log snippets, run quick calls, and coordinate resolutions entirely within a private, self-hosted boundary.
AI Agents & ChatOps Integration
Deploy AI agents and automation scripts that interact directly with channels via local, controllable API endpoints.
Company Memory Foundation
Part of the broader Kubedo.io company memory stack. While RustChat acts as the live signal layer, it coordinates with RustShare to archive durable meeting files, decisions, and documents.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of teams is RustChat for?
RustChat is designed for technical teams, DevOps teams, SRE teams, platform teams, infrastructure teams, support engineers, and AI-focused organizations who require low-overhead messaging that runs close to their systems.
Is RustChat a full Slack replacement?
RustChat is not positioned as a full Slack replacement today. It is an open-source, self-hosted communication platform for technical teams that want more operational control and are comfortable evaluating software in Public Preview.
Why use a self-hosted communication platform?
Hosting your own messaging system keeps sensitive operational telemetry, build outputs, alert logs, and system discussions inside infrastructure you operate, reducing external SaaS dependency.
How does RustChat relate to RustShare?
RustChat and RustShare are sibling projects under Kubedo.io. RustChat is the live signal layer (for active discussions, replies, and calls), while RustShare is the durable document stack (for files, wiki pages, decisions, and meeting notes). Together, they form the foundation of Kubedo's open-source company memory stack.
