In the past decade, we've helped our customers push the envelope to lead in their respective markets with data architectures that can survive node outages, datacenter outages, regional cloud outages, and even turning off a cloud vendor entirely with complete business continuity. We are agnostic to public vs private cloud, allowing zero-downtime portability, and public / private hybrid deployments. Our ability to meet these challenges has made CockroachDB the trusted global database for running mission-critical workloads of the world's most important businesses. From the beginning, CockroachDB was released as software that customers can run themselves in two flavors: a free Core version and an Enterprise version for scaled businesses with mission-critical applications. Over time, extensive use of both offerings has allowed for CockroachDB's rapid evolution. Two trends have emerged - startups using Enterprise features not available in Core, and scaled businesses compromising on using the full capabilities of CockroachDB by eschewing the Enterprise license for free usage of Core. Consequently, we are introducing a new licensing model that provides all users with the full breadth of CockroachDB capabilities, allowing individuals and small businesses to use Enterprise for free, encouraging fair exchange of value with scaled businesses, keeping our code source available, and retiring the Core offering. We will introduce a new Enterprise licensing structure for self-hosted users, providing robust database capabilities. Additionally, we are introducing 30-day Trial and Free license tiers.
