The engine, run as a platform
The open-source repo is the engine, a library you embed. Enterprise is the same engine run as a service, in your cloud account or ours.

infino enterprise --list
Stateless auth, routing, and per-request metering in front of every database.
Every active database is served from at least two nodes.
One worker process per database. Two databases never share one.
Workers start on the first request. An idle database costs only storage.
Accounts, API keys, and usage in one place.
Managed, or self-hosted in your account. S3, Azure Blob, GCS.
Platform state is JSON on the bucket. No etcd or Postgres to run.
Part of every enterprise agreement.
infino deploy --byoc
Runs in your cloud account
One build, managed or self-hosted. Point it at your bucket and everything stays in your account.
cat FAQ.md
is the enterprise engine a fork?
No. Workers run the same engine that ships on GitHub. Enterprise adds the layer around it: gateway, workers, keys, metering, console.
what does an install consist of?
Stateless gateway instances, a supervisor and workers per node, and a bucket. No metadata database, no coordination service.
in our own cloud, does anything leave our account?
No. The platform reads and writes your bucket and nothing else, including its own state. Backing up the bucket backs up everything.
how is it licensed?
The engine is Apache-2.0 and stays that way. The platform is commercial; terms depend on how you deploy it.
