Open Source (Apache 2.0)
Apache 2.0 is permissive and commercial‑friendly. You can use, modify, and distribute Decision Gate without restriction.
Best for: individual developers, single‑tenant deployments, and evaluations.
Get started:
- GitHub repository and releases
- Quickstart
Enterprise (Self‑Hosted Commercial)
Enterprise adds scale, compliance, and multi‑tenant controls on top of the same core engine. Source is available for security review under NDA.
Adds:
- PostgreSQL + S3 storage and retention
- OIDC, API keys, RBAC
- Multi‑tenant governance
- Hash‑chained audit logs
- Quotas and usage enforcement
- Admin tooling and integration guidance
What DG‑E is not:
- No public managed cloud service yet. A limited managed cloud offering may be available for select customers while we continue hardening it.
- No promise of 24/7 operations. You operate your deployment.
- No hidden coupling. DG‑E integrates with standard enterprise primitives (OIDC, API keys, Postgres, S3, Prometheus‑style metrics) without requiring a separate hosted platform.
If you need a managed offering, we can discuss it during early access.
