"Two trends have emerged in the usage of our Core product. First, startups and other small businesses have often shown a desire to use Enterprise features not available in Core. And second, a growing number of scaled businesses are compromising on using the full capabilities of CockroachDB, eschewing the Enterprise license for free usage of Core," said CEO Spencer Kimball.
"We are set to introduce a different license structure it claims will offer users the robust database features found previously in the self-hosted Enterprise license," noted Kimball in the blog post.
"The free Core version was designed to provide everything an individual user or startup would need to reach scale. However, that was not how it ended up being used," explained Kimball.
"Although all users would be moved to the Enterprise product, CockroachDB Enterprise Free would be available without charge to individual developers, students, academic researchers, and businesses under $10 million in annual revenues," said the company.
