What you may give up

No paid-feature limits established for this edition.

Tier A: Root platform EPL-2.0. Official docs allow self-hosting cloud capabilities; paid cloud plans charge storage/traffic rather than unlock product features. Some integrations require separate setup and cloud infrastructure services are not prepackaged. License source

What running it takes

CockroachDB
Redpanda
Elasticsearch

Hover or focus an icon for its name. Dashed means not established; struck through means no; grouped icons are alternatives.

Current compose uses CockroachDB/Redpanda/object storage/Elasticsearch. MongoDB is conditional for AI/calendar, not the core SQL database. Compose and sample Kubernetes are manual deployments; production v* tags recommended. Infrastructure and staff time are not priced here; this page does not compare total cost.
