the publication
Groundy is an independent publication covering developer tools, infrastructure, and the platforms shaping how software gets built. Engineers comparing tools, evaluating runtimes, and tracking pricing as it shifts under working budgets.
editorial principles
Coding assistants, editors, runtimes, and build systems, and what they actually cost to use. Serving architecture and runtime performance, where the infrastructure layer determines whether software scales at load. Pricing changes, plan repackagings, and metering shifts, which hit working teams faster than feature announcements ever do. Open-source projects worth watching, and the maintainers carrying them. Regulatory shifts when they change what shipping software looks like.
No original reporting: no interviews, no FOIA requests, no embargoed access, no off-the-record sources. Groundy synthesizes and contextualizes what is already public, and cites every claim with footnoted sources.
No ads, no affiliate links, no sponsored content, no paywall. No email list, no comments section, no reader-data harvesting. The site exists at the URL — that is the whole product.
how stories get published
Each piece is researched from public sources, drafted long-form, and put through a layered editorial review before publishing — structural guards on sourcing and language, multiple review passes against the sources, and a final approval gate. Nothing reaches the site without clearing all of them.
Sourcing standards, citation conventions, and the corrections process are spelled out in the editorial policy.
