Products & Services
Managed, white-label Git infrastructure for applications and AI platforms. It stores code and machine-generated artifacts, exposes Git and HTTP workflows, and provides an API-optimized programmable storage layer.
Open-source code and diff rendering library with rich syntax highlighting, unified and split diffs, edit mode, custom and Shiki themes, virtualization, annotations, and in-place editing.
Open-source, high-performance and customizable file-tree rendering library for navigating project files and building agent/user interfaces.
Web interface for viewing public GitHub pull-request diffs, comparisons, commits, and patches by replacing github.com with diffshub.com; supports optional private GitHub access.
Market Position
Pierre positions Code Storage as a programmable, embeddable Git storage layer for machine and agent workloads rather than a conventional human-centric Git host. It competes with GitHub, GitLab, and bespoke S3/R2-plus-database storage stacks by emphasizing high-throughput repository operations, no published rate limits, AI-native branching and memory workflows, Git-provider synchronization, and white-label integration. Its open-source Diffs and Trees libraries also position it against code-review, diff-rendering, and file-tree UI components.

Founding Story
Pierre was started to build infrastructure that could keep up with machine-generated work. The founders focused on low-level, composable primitives because AI and code-generation workloads were exposing the difficulty of operating Git and related developer infrastructure at scale; the initial commercial vision was a white-label, low-latency Git layer that applications could embed.
Business Model
Revenue Model
Usage-based billing for Git read/write access, storage volume, and bandwidth, invoiced monthly; Pierre also offers minimum-usage plans, enterprise commitments/volume discounts, and managed or bring-your-own-cloud deployments.
Pricing Tiers
Multi-tenant; GDPR-ready and HIPAA-ready; SOC 2 compliant; community Slack and Discord; email support.
Starter features plus a single-tenant option, SSO, private Slack or Discord, and 24/7 support.
Scale features plus single-tenant or VPC/private networking, volume discounts, custom commitments, and MSA terms.
Hot storage is for recently touched repositories; cold storage is for repositories untouched for more than seven days.
