History
EspoCRM was co-founded in 2014 by Oleksii Avramenko, Yurii Kuznetsov and Taras Machyshyn.
After analyzing the open source software market and identifying CRM trends, Oleksii Avramenko began discussing the future of CRM systems. The discussion led to the beginning of EspoCRM development and testing. Yurii Kuznetsov was the leading developer of the system. Metadata Utilities and Layout handlers were developed by Taras Machyshyn.[3]
In 2015, they registered a trademark for their system in the United States and Germany.[4]
Since 2015, EspoCRM can be installed via Bitnami,[5] Softaculous,[6] and XAMPP[7] Addons. These auto-installers provide pre-packaged images for an automated setup of the application in both cloud and local environments (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, virtual machines). It simplifies the installation of EspoCRM and runtime dependencies.
Since 2021, EspoCRM can be also installed using a Docker [8] container, which includes the application itself and all the supporting software.
Technology
EspoCRM is built as a single-page application (SPA). The application works in a browser and dynamically rewrites the content of the webpage without reloading it. The server-side development of EspoCRM is done in PHP, while the client-side is written in JavaScript.
EspoCRM utilizes MySQL and MariaDB databases. The platform can be cloud-hosted and self-hosted.[9] It can be run on VPS [10] or on web hosting.
