DBTrail EE & Plans
The commercial edition (forensics, RBAC, audit trail, SSO) on top of the free open-source core, and the plans behind it
- One edition. Every paid plan unlocks the same complete EE; a signed license turns the features on. Registry and activation: Enterprise features.
- The recovery safety net is never licensed. No license, the full core still runs. The one deliberate exception: the audit trail's fail-closed policy.
- BYOS (row images in your own S3, DBTrail sees metadata) is not license-gated. It ships in the core and comes with every paid plan; under Managed it keeps data residency.
- SSO + RBAC together map identity-provider claims to roles: SSO claim→role mapping.

The Managed plan
DBTrail runs: the index infrastructure, updates and schema migrations, backups, disk and recovery of the index, and monitoring of the capture pipeline.
Stays yours: your production database, which DBTrail only reads as a replication client, and, with BYOS, the row images in your S3.
Trust boundary and what DBTrail's side stores: The Managed Plan.
Support boundary for the free core
Community support covers the software (bugs, unexpected behavior, doc gaps) through GitHub issues and discussions. Operating the index database (sizing, backups, disk, upgrades) is yours in the free core: SUPPORT.md. Taking that load off you is what the paid plans are for.
Self-host the core: github.com/dbtrail/dbtrail.
