# Funding
|
|
|
|
If you use REST framework commercially we strongly encourage you to invest in its continued development by signing up for a paid plan.
|
|
|
|
**We believe that collaboratively funded software can offer outstanding returns on investment, by allowing users and clients to collectively share the cost of development.**
|
|
|
|
Signing up for a paid plan will:
|
|
|
|
* Directly contribute to faster releases, more features and higher quality software.
|
|
* Allow more time to be invested in documentation, issue triage and community support.
|
|
* Safeguard the future development of REST framework.
|
|
|
|
REST framework will always be open source and permissively licensed, but we firmly believe it is in the commercial best-interest for users of the project to fund its ongoing development.
|
|
|

|
## Making the business case
|
|
|
|
Our successful Kickstarter campaign demonstrates the cost-reward ratio of shared development funding.
|
|
|
|
With *typical corporate fundings of just £100-£1000 per organization* we successfully delivered:
|
|
|
|
* The comprehensive 3.0 serializer redesign.
|
|
* Substantial improvements to the Browsable API.
|
|
* The admin interface.
|
|
* A new pagination API including offset/limit and cursor pagination implementations, plus on-page controls.
|
|
* A versioning API, including URL-based and header-based versioning schemes.
|
|
* Support for customizable exception handling.
|
|
* Support for Django's PostgreSQL HStoreField, ArrayField and JSONField.
|
|
* Templated HTML form support, including HTML forms with nested list and objects.
|
|
* Internationalization support for API responses, currently with 27 languages.
|
|
* The metadata APIs for handling `OPTIONS` requests and schema endpoints.
|
|
* Numerous minor improvements and better quality throughout the codebase.
|
|
* Ongoing triage and community support, closing over 1600 tickets.
|
|
|
|
This incredible level of return on investment is *only possible through collaboratively funded models*, which is why we believe that supporting our paid plans is in everyone's best interest.

## Individual plan
|
|
|
|
This subscription is recommended for freelancers and other individuals with an interest in seeing REST framework continue to improve.
|
|
|
|
If you are using REST framework as an full-time employee, consider recommending that your company takes out a [corporate plan](#corporate-plans).

## Corporate plans
|
|
|
|
These subscriptions are recommended for companies and organizations using REST framework either publicly or privately.
|
|
|
|
In exchange for funding you'll also receive advertising space on our site, allowing you to **promote your company or product to many tens of thousands of developers worldwide**.
|
|
|
|
Our professional and premium plans also include **priority support**. At any time your engineers can escalate an issue or discussion group thread, and we'll ensure it gets a guaranteed response within the next working day.

## Roadmap
|
|
|
|
Although we're incredibly proud of REST framework in its current state we believe there is still huge scope for improvement. What we're aiming for here is a *highly polished, rock solid product*. This needs to backed up with impeccable documentation and a great third party ecosystem.
|
|
|
|
The roadmap below is a broad indication of just some of the ongoing and future work we believe is important to REST framework.
|
|
|
|
* Increasing our "bus factor" through documented organizational process & safeguards.
|
|
* More time towards testing and hardening releases, with only gradual, well-documented deprecations.
|
|
* A formal policy on security backports for non-current releases.
|
|
* Continuing triage & community support.
|
|
* Improved project documentation, including versioned & internationalized docs.
|
|
* Improved third party package visibility.
|
|
* Refining the admin interface, ensuring it has a fully customizable API and making it suitable as end-user facing application.
|
|
* Cleaning up internal complexities including the `BrowsableAPIRenderer` and `Request` object.
|
|
* Support for alternative backends such as SQLAlchemy.
|
|
* Support for non-database backed services.
|
|
* HTTP Caching API & support for conditional database lookups.
|
|
* Benchmarking and performance improvements.
|
|
* In depth documentation on advanced usage and best practices.
|
|
* Documentation & support for integration with realtime systems.
|
|
* Hypermedia support and client libraries.
|
|
* Support for JSON schema as endpoints or `OPTIONS` responses.
|
|
* API metric tools.
|
|
* Debug & logging tools.
|
|
* Third party GraphQL support.
|
|
|
|
By taking out a paid plan you'll be directly contributing towards making these features happen.
