Define the deployment

Review environments, capacity, availability and infrastructure requirements with your team.

Agree the commercial scope

Discuss the package, support and services you need, then review a proposal for your deployment.

Fixed licensing covers the agreed package. Infrastructure, operations and any changes in scope belong in your overall cost plan.

Common questions

Is licensing charged per message?

KubeMQ’s fixed-cost licensing is tiered by package size, not message volume. The package should be matched to your capacity and deployment requirements.

How do I get a price?

Talk to KubeMQ about your workload and environment. We’ll help define the scope and provide pricing for your requirements.

Does the license include my infrastructure?

KubeMQ is self-managed. Include the cost of your own infrastructure and operating it when comparing total costs.

What happens when our requirements grow?

Review the capacity and scope of your package with KubeMQ. Changes in deployment requirements may call for a different package.
