Dify: from open source to a focused pilot
An application platform for workflows, retrieval, and model orchestration.
What you could build
An internal application or licensed customer deployment, after checking the tenancy model.
Start with a specific buyer
Teams building internal AI tools and customer-specific deployments.
Choose one recurring task, interview three potential buyers, and agree a measurable pilot outcome. Test the upstream project with your actual data before designing the full product.
License and commercial review
The modified Apache-based license adds restrictions. Multi-tenant operation requires written authorization; frontend use carries branding conditions. Read the full license before selling a hosted service.
Build a small, accountable launch
Use the official setup guide, record the source commit and model versions, keep customer data isolated, and measure cost and quality for each completed workflow. A launch plan helps organize those decisions; deployment and provider accounts remain under your control.
