FlowMQ Editions
FlowMQ is a fully-managed cloud service that offers multiple editions to fit the diverse needs of developers, teams, and enterprises. Whether you are just getting started, running a production application, or require enterprise-grade security and support, there is a FlowMQ plan for you.
You select an edition when you create a Project, and all resources within that project will adhere to the limits and features of your chosen plan.
Overview of Editions
Developer Edition
The Developer Edition is our free tier, designed to help you learn and experiment with FlowMQ without any financial commitment. It's perfect for personal projects, proof-of-concepts, and exploring the platform's capabilities. While it has lower resource limits, it provides access to the core features of topics, queues, and streams.
Standard Edition
The Standard Edition is the workhorse for most production applications. It offers a significant increase in resources, high availability to ensure your application is resilient, and professional support from our team. With usage-based pricing, you pay only for what you use, making it a cost-effective choice for growing applications and teams.
Enterprise Edition
The Enterprise Edition is designed for organizations with mission-critical workloads that demand the highest levels of security, performance, and support. It includes everything in the Standard plan, plus advanced features like SSO for streamlined user management, private networking for enhanced security, and a dedicated support channel with our engineering team to ensure your success.
