Common questions

What counts as a cluster?

One Kafka cluster or one Flink cluster. A single Enterprise licence covers one cluster and up to 100 users, with additional clusters available at the same per-cluster rate.

Can I run Community in production?

Community Edition is licensed for non-production environments only. If you need to run Kpow or Flex against a production cluster, you need an Enterprise licence.

How do I deploy?

Both products deploy as a single container or JAR. No external database or proxy layer required. Runs inside your infrastructure with no data leaving your environment.

Is there a free trial of Enterprise?

Yes. You can run a full 30-day Enterprise trial with no credit card required. Contact us to get a trial licence key.
