About us
Pioneering IT Solutions with Open Source Passion
Welcome to CODE79 – your trusted partner in delivering agile, enterprise-grade IT solutions rooted in open source excellence. Founded by Gilles Fauvie, a visionary with 25 years of industry experience, we have built our reputation on empowering organizations with transparent, secure, and tailor-made IT infrastructures that put you in full control.
At CODE79, open source isn’t just a technology choice—it’s a philosophy. We believe in the power of collaboration, transparency, and the relentless drive for innovation that comes from community-driven development. This approach not only helps you avoid the pitfalls of vendor lock-in and costly licensing fees but also ensures you have the flexibility to adapt your systems as your business evolves. Our commitment to open source means we deliver robust solutions without unnecessary complexity, backed by decades of hands-on expertise in Linux system administration, on-premise AI, and modern IT practices.
Our service offerings are designed to meet the complex demands of today’s enterprises. We provide comprehensive support, training, and strategic consultancy that spans the full spectrum of IT operations. From optimizing existing infrastructures to architecting new systems, our team works closely with you to create solutions that are efficient, secure, and scalable. We seamlessly integrate with leading platforms such as AWS, Azure, and Red Hat, ensuring your IT environment is future-proof and adaptable to change.
A significant part of our portfolio is our DBA specialization under dbfactory.io. Focused primarily on PostgreSQL, our DBA services ensure that your critical data systems remain secure, high-performing, and available around the clock. This specialized service complements our broader IT offerings, providing you with comprehensive expertise that covers every aspect of your technology needs.
Despite our extensive experience and robust portfolio, we pride ourselves on being a small, dynamic, and agile team. Unlike large multinationals, we maintain a personalized approach that allows us to be highly responsive and adaptable, ensuring every client receives bespoke service tailored to their unique challenges.
At CODE79, we’re more than just an IT service provider; we’re a partner committed to driving your business forward. Embrace the open source advantage with us, and let’s build a future-proof IT landscape together.
