The Roadmap

A transparent look at what we've built, what we're working on, and where better-openclaw is heading. Our goal is to build the ultimate open-source, vendor-agnostic stack builder.

Q1 2026

Core Infrastructure Engine

Completed

The foundation of better-openclaw. A robust engine capable of generating complex Docker Compose stacks in seconds.

  • 90+ Service Catalog across 21 categories
  • Interactive CLI Wizard with dependency resolution
  • REST API for programmatic stack generation
  • Web Builder UI with live preview

Q2 2026

User Experience & Persistence

In Progress

Moving from stateless generation to stateful user accounts, enabling cloud saves and community sharing.

  • User Accounts via Better-Auth (Email, Magic Link, Passkeys)
  • Cloud Save & Favorite Stacks in PostgreSQL
  • Transactional emails via Unsend
  • Animated Data Visualization in Blog Posts

Q3 2026

Enterprise Deployments

Upcoming

Bridging the gap between homelabs and enterprise production with advanced deployment targets and native execution.

  • Native Bare-Metal Recipes (PostgreSQL, Caddy, Redis)
  • Team Collaboration (Organization Stacks)
  • Advanced Deployment Targets (AWS ECS, Kubernetes)
  • Distributed Environment Variables UI

Q4 2026

Platform Extensibility

Planned

Empowering developers to extend the better-openclaw ecosystem with their own custom logic and automated backups.

  • Automated Stack Backups to MinIO/S3
  • Custom Skill Pack Builder GUI
  • AI-Driven Stack Optimization Suggestions
  • Community Plugin Marketplace
