Carbon: An Open-Source Operating System for Manufacturing – Challenging the ERP Status Quo

Carbon is an open-source operating system built for manufacturing, designed to address shortcomings in existing ERP systems: lack of modern tooling, vendor lock-in, and the absence of a 'one-size-fits-all' solution. It features an API-first architecture, empowering users to extend the platform through custom app development with readily available building blocks and tools. Built using Turborepo for efficient monorepo management, Carbon integrates with services like Supabase, Redis, and Stripe. Installation and deployment are streamlined via command-line instructions, and example code facilitates rapid onboarding.
