About Codebahn
Codebahn is an independent, EU-based company building managed Git and CI for small teams. The product runs on Forgejo, an open-source forge, with infrastructure hosted entirely in the EU by EU-incorporated providers. The company is funded entirely by its customers.
Our story
European software ended up on American infrastructure. Nobody chose it. It happened one sensible-looking default at a time, and the cost of leaving grew while nobody was looking. Simon Nordberg started Codebahn in 2026 because European teams deserve infrastructure that earns the switch on its own, not a worse tool with better jurisdiction. Hackerman AB, incorporated in Sweden.
How we're funded
Codebahn is completely independent, self-funded, and bootstrapped. Revenue comes from customer subscriptions, and that revenue covers infrastructure, development, and support. Subscription-funded means the incentive is to keep customers, not to convert them. The people building Codebahn are the people answering your email.
How we grow
We grow when people recommend us because the product works. No paid advertising, no growth team. Good product, honest pricing. That is enough.
What we believe
- Simple. We do fewer things and do them properly. The rest we leave out on purpose.
- Developer-first. When interests conflict, the person writing and shipping the code wins.
- Fair pricing. Tiers based on storage and compute, not headcount. Users are unlimited.
- EU-hosted. Swedish company, EU infrastructure, every sub-processor EU-incorporated.
- Built on open source. Forgejo is GPL-3.0. Your data exports in standard format, any time.
- Independent. Bootstrapped and staying that way.
Where we are today
Codebahn is new. We are honest about where we fit and where we don't. Here is what we can show you: where the servers are, who owns the company, every sub-processor. Then you decide.
If Codebahn goes away, your data exports in standard Forgejo format. Your code is always yours.
