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, and nothing in the software is ever gated. The trial isn't for the software. It's for 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
Named senior engineers on the other end of the address — the people whose names are in git log. No outsourced first line.
12h response SLA
12-hour email response commitment on questions and issues, business hours, from day one.
Architecture review call
60 minutes on your deployment: what’s standard, what’s risky, what’s suboptimal, what’s outright broken.
What the 30 days actually look like
- Day 0
You email contact@beshu.tech with subject “DeltaGlider — Commercial trial.” We respond within 1 business day with a scheduling link for the review call.
- Days 1–7
Email onboarding. We learn your deployment shape, the workload, the storage backend, your SLOs.
- Days 8–14
Architecture review call (60 min). Output: a short written summary of recommendations, by email.
- Days 15–29
Ongoing email support. You ask questions, file issues, get answers from the senior engineers who wrote the code.
- Day 30
Conversion conversation. Sign the Commercial plan ($5k/year, everything included) — or thank us, exit, 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 async help, not 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 — 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 haven't deployed DeltaGlider yet — start with the first tutorial. There's no point trialing support for software you haven't tried.
- You need 24/7 on-call coverage — the trial is business-hours only, and so is the standard Commercial plan. 24/7 is a custom conversation with sales.
- You need a contract signed before any interaction — skip the trial, talk to sales directly.
Why this isn't a software trial
There is nothing to gate: no time-locked feature flag, no expiring license key, no phone-home. The license is legal text you can read, not a technical lock. And every release becomes Apache-2.0 open source two years after it ships.
So the trial is the support relationship. Trying us out for 30 days is the cheapest way for both sides to find out if we're a fit.
