30-day Commercial trial.
The software is free. The trial is for the support.
DeltaGlider is free for production use up to 15 TB of compressed data per organization, and nothing in the software is ever locked. The trial covers the Commercial plan's support relationship: a direct email line to Beshu Tech's senior engineers, a 12-hour response SLA, and one architecture review call.
Free for 30 days · No credit card · No auto-conversion
What's included for 30 days
Direct engineering email
You write to named senior engineers, the people whose names are in git log, with no outsourced first-line support in between.
12h response SLA
We respond to questions and issues by email within 12 hours, during business hours, from day one.
Architecture review call
We spend 60 minutes on your deployment and tell you what's standard, what's risky, what's suboptimal, and what's outright broken.
What the 30 days look like
- Day 0
You email contact@beshu.tech with the subject "DeltaGlider - Commercial trial". We respond within 1 business day with a scheduling link for the review call.
- Days 1-7
We onboard you by email and learn your deployment shape, the workload, the storage backend, and your SLOs.
- Days 8-14
We hold the 60-minute architecture review call, then send you a short written summary of recommendations by email.
- Days 15-29
You keep asking questions and filing issues by email, and the senior engineers who wrote the code answer them.
- Day 30
We talk about converting. You either sign the Commercial plan ($5k/year, everything included) or you thank us and keep running the free build. Under the 15 TB grant, nothing changes on your side at all.
What we don't do during the trial
- We don't get root on your infrastructure. The trial is asynchronous help, and it doesn't include managed services.
- We don't operate migrations or cutovers for you. We advise; your team runs them.
- We don't sign DPAs / MSAs for the trial itself. Those come with a paid contract, which is a separate sales conversation.
- We don't auto-bill you on day 31. Conversion is your decision and an explicit step.
When the trial isn't right for you
- You don't run DeltaGlider yet. Start with the first tutorial, because there's no point in trialing support for software you never tried.
- You need 24/7 on-call coverage. The trial is business hours only, and so is the standard Commercial plan. 24/7 coverage is a custom arrangement, so it needs its own conversation with sales.
- You need a contract signed before any interaction. Skip the trial and talk to sales directly.
Why this isn't a software trial
There is nothing to lock. The software has no time-locked feature flag, no expiring license key, and no phone-home. The license is legal text you can read, and no code enforces it. Every release becomes Apache-2.0 open source two years after it ships.
So the trial is for the support relationship, and 30 days is the cheapest way for both sides to find out if we're a fit.
