  • ✅ Full Prism DSL support
  • ✅ Complete CLI
  • ❌ In-memory only (state lost on restart)

Enterprise​

  • ✅ Everything in Open Source, plus:
  • ✅ Persistence (PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB)
  • ✅ Execution history & audit logs
  • ✅ Web Dashboard
  • ✅ Scheduled patterns (cron, triggers)
  • ✅ High Availability (clustering, failover)
  • ✅ Multi-user / RBAC
  • ✅ SSO Integration (SAML, OIDC)

Why Upgrade?​

Open Source is Great For:​

  • Learning and experimentation
  • Development and testing
  • Small projects and prototypes
  • CI/CD pipeline integration (stateless)
  • Individual developers

Enterprise is Essential For:​

  • Production deployments — You need persistence so data survives restarts
  • Debugging & compliance — Execution history and audit logs
  • Monitoring — Web dashboard with real-time metrics
  • Automation — Scheduled patterns and event triggers
  • Teams — Multi-user access with proper permissions
  • Reliability — HA clustering for zero downtime
