# Is GLBNXT built on open-source technology?

Yes. GLBNXT is built on a foundation of proven open-source components, which is a deliberate choice rather than a cost-saving measure. Open-source technology means the underlying code can be independently verified, audited, and scrutinised. For organisations with strict security and compliance requirements, this level of transparency matters. You are not relying on the promises of a closed, proprietary system that you cannot inspect.

Building on open standards also means GLBNXT avoids the vendor lock-in that comes with fully proprietary platforms. Your data, your configurations, and your workflows are not trapped inside a system that only one company controls.

At the same time, GLBNXT is not a self-hosted open-source project that requires your team to manage and maintain it. The platform is delivered as a fully managed enterprise service, with the reliability, support, and security controls that organisations in regulated industries expect. You get the transparency benefits of open source with the operational simplicity of a managed platform.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.glbnxt.com/faq/general/is-glbnxt-built-on-open-source-technology.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
