Self-hosted ERP on your infrastructure
Deploy ERP, MRP, MES and QMS in your cloud account, on-prem or air-gapped. Keep the application and Postgres data inside a boundary you control.
Hard tech unicorns build on Carbon.
Your cloud account, operated by Carbon.
BYOC deploys Carbon into your cloud account. We operate releases, certificates and monitoring while you retain control of the account, network and data.
Keep CUI inside your security boundary.
Self-host Carbon to keep production records and CUI in infrastructure you control. Enterprise BYOC deployments include system-specific inputs for your SSP, POA&M and SPRS score.
Run every site on one ledger.
Manage one facility or multiple entities and locations from Postgres inside your perimeter. Configure currency, chart of accounts and tax by entity, then consolidate reporting and inter-site transfers.
Keep traceability inside your network.
Open any serial number to see its material certificates, operators, measurements and deviations. First articles, NCRs, CAPAs and calibrations link to the same production records.
Run the shop floor on your servers.
Serve digital travelers, operator terminals, barcode tracking and finite-capacity schedules from the Carbon instance you host. Production does not depend on Carbon's managed cloud.
One codebase across every deployment model.
Run the same application on one Docker host, a private cloud cluster or an isolated on-prem network.
# Clone the source and bring up the whole stack git clone https://github.com/crbnos/carbon.git cd carbon docker compose up -d # App, API, MCP server and Postgres — all on your box.

Control the data, models and storage.
Use the same product in every environment.
Managed cloud and self-hosted Carbon use the same codebase. The Community edition is available under AGPL-3.0; a commercial license unlocks Enterprise features for self-hosted deployments.
- ERP — quotes, orders, purchasing, inventory and job costing
- MRP — demand, supply planning, BOM and routing versions
- MES — digital travelers, operator terminal, live scheduling
- QMS — first article, NCR/CAPA, calibration and genealogy
- REST API and MCP server across every module (commercial license to self-host)
- SSO / SAML, granular permissions and row-level security
- Multi-entity, multi-location, consolidated accounting
- ITAR-ready, CMMC and NIST 800-171 aligned deployment
Inspect, deploy and extend the source.
Carbon is a TypeScript monorepo backed by Postgres. Self-host the Community edition under AGPL-3.0, or use a commercial license for Enterprise modules and air-gapped deployments. Review the code against your security requirements before rollout.
Common questions.
Is Carbon open source?
Yes. The Community edition includes the core ERP, MRP, MES and QMS and is available on GitHub under AGPL-3.0. Enterprise features and alternative licensing require a commercial agreement.
How does Carbon support CMMC requirements?
Self-hosting keeps CUI inside an infrastructure boundary you control. For Enterprise BYOC deployments, we provide deployment-specific inputs for your System Security Plan, POA&M and SPRS score. Your organization remains responsible for its full CMMC program and assessment.
Can Carbon run fully air-gapped?
Yes. With an Enterprise license, Carbon runs in a restricted network without outbound calls. The application is containerized and uses a Postgres database you control.
What is bring-your-own-cloud (BYOC)?
BYOC is managed self-hosting. Carbon deploys the application and data services into your cloud account, then operates releases, certificates and monitoring through a control plane. You approve upgrades and retain control of the infrastructure and data.
Is the self-hosted version the same as the cloud?
Yes. Managed cloud and self-hosted deployments use the same codebase. The Community edition includes core manufacturing functions; the REST API, MCP server and other Enterprise features require a commercial license when self-hosted.
Can I bring my own AI models?
Yes. Connect hosted or local models through Carbon's REST API and built-in MCP server. Both use Carbon identities and permissions. Self-hosted API keys and MCP access require a commercial license.
Do you help with deployment?
Yes. BYOC includes deployment and operations in your cloud account. Enterprise engagements can also include data migration, custom integrations, training and an SLA.
Your factory. Your servers.
Deploy the Community edition yourself or work with our team on BYOC, on-prem and air-gapped Enterprise deployments.
