I’m trying to understand the licensing and limitations of ScyllaDB self-hosted.
On the official website (https://www.scylladb.com), I can only see ScyllaDB Enterprise and ScyllaDB Cloud offerings. I don’t see a clearly labeled “free self-hosted” edition anymore.
From the documentation and Docker images, it looks like ScyllaDB Enterprise self-hosted is available but limited to 10TB of data and 50 vCPU.
My questions are:
Is ScyllaDB self-hosted still considered completely free to use if it is capped at 10TB storage and 50 vCPU?
Are these limits hard-enforced technically, or are they part of the license terms?
Is there any unlimited self-hosted option today (for example, the old open-source ScyllaDB), or is Enterprise with these limits the only supported self-hosted choice now?
I’m evaluating ScyllaDB for a high-write workload and want to clearly understand whether the self-hosted version is truly free or only free within these constraints.
Thanks in advance for any clarification.
