Hi,

First congratulations on the incorporation of the Framework M foundation.

I was reading the updated documentation, and Business-M is referred to as an "example" application. Is it planned to stay a comprehensive example, or do you envision it to become a full-fledged ERPNext alternative?

Kind regards,
Gergely

First congratulations on the incorporation of the Framework M foundation.

Thank you! Just to clarify the official name is Framework M Software Foundation. Framework M Foundation was not approved as name, we had to add "Software".

Yes, it is an "example"! The "Production" ready example. The true implementation of features from the framework. It has helm chart and list of compose files, also potentially planning to make it deb package so even in container we should be able to just apt-get instead of long summoning rituals.

Business M is live production/enterprise example for:

  • Monolith to Macroservice as apps.
  • Microfrontends as ui for apps.
  • CQRS for enterprise reports.
  • Customizable shell.
  • Implementation of lib-ledger-core, https://pypi.org/project/lib-ledger-core
  • Many more features!

Code is Apache 2.0 so reference can be used as open source for your commercial use.

edit:

  • Last time I tried to upgrade ERPNext it failed on upgrade and I wasted some time in restore of my sites. One of the site also had 1 hour of data loss.
  • Looking for fixes, I found I am on my own. The people who were looking after release forwared my message to someone else as they left.
  • Then I thought, if I am going to clean up after anything then let it be my mess that I clean up!
  • I'll be upgrading to Business M for production. That means Business M is production alternative for ERPNext for me.
  • I have made m-india as adapters for compliance ports. Implementing m-mycountry should be as easy as implementing the adapter for the port.
