Open Source at DuckDuckGo: Seven Lessons Learned

DuckDuckGo is a search engine that's always been known for privacy (among those who'd heard of it). Last year we passed 3 billion annual searches, and it’s critical that we continue to delight users without sacrificing their privacy.

The key, we realized a few years ago, was open source. We created an API and started a community where anyone can join us in improving search results. These contributions are called Instant Answers and they appear above the organic search results.

Our community has steadily grown since then, with hundreds of contributors and counting. Over the years, we’ve learned several powerful lessons about what makes an open source community thrive — particularly one symbiotic with a startup company.
