How does the pilot option work?

The pilot is a fixed-scope engagement we agree on together.You run Streambased in your environment and, if successful, the deployment can be carried forward into your enterprise subscription. Contact us for more information.

What’s included in the free trial?

A time-limited trial of the full platform, with no limits onscale – all deployed in your own Kubernetes environment, with email support.

Do you charge based on data volume, queries or applications?

No. Your subscription is based on cluster counts and support level, not on usage metrics such as throughput or number of client applications.

How do you count clusters for pricing?

We price based on the Kafka clusters you access through Streambased. For example, if your queries pull data from two different clusters, both are counted.
