Hello My name is Gabriel Silva, and I work as a Data Engineer at P. B. Lopes, a Brazilian business group. We are evaluating GoodData.CN Community Edition as an internal Business Intelligence and data analytics platform. We intend to install the solution on our own local server using Docker to create dashboards, reports, operational indicators, and management analytics. Access will be restricted to P. B. Lopes employees, managers, and authorized internal teams, with centralized administration by our IT department. Any remote access would take place exclusively through our corporate VPN. The platform would connect to internal data sources such as SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Progress/OpenEdge, ERP systems, operational systems, CSV files, and Excel files. We do not intend to provide GoodData to external customers, resell or sublicense it, offer it as a SaaS solution, or use it as an independent commercial service. We are trying to contact the sales team to clarify these matters, but we have not been successful so far. Therefore, we would like to request information about the following: • Whether the Community Edition can be used in a production environment for internal corporate purposes; • Whether there are any limits on users, dashboards, projects, queries, or data volume; • Whether there is any licensing fee for the scenario described, or whether the Community Edition is genuinely free; • Whether it is necessary to purchase a commercial or paid license; • If a commercial license is required, what would be the estimated cost for our scenario, including possible charges based on users, servers, environments, data volume, or any other criteria; • What is the currently recommended version, the official Docker image, and the recommended installation and update procedures; • What level of support, maintenance, updates, and fixes is available. In summary, we would like to confirm whether the exclusively internal, corporate, and self-hosted use described above is permitted under the GoodData.CN Community Edition license or whether a commercial license would be required. If a paid license is necessary, we would also appreciate information about the available plans and their respective costs. We apologize in advance for any translation or interpretation errors. I am not fluent in English, so there may be some inaccuracies in the translation of this message.

Thinking completed Hello Gabriel, Here are the details regarding your questions about deploying GoodData Cloud Native (GoodData.CN): Production Use, Licensing, and Editions • Production Use of Community Edition: The Community Edition all-in-one Docker image is explicitly not intended for production use [All-In-One Docker container]. It was designed primarily as a developer/evaluation solution and requires accepting a Non-Production License Agreement [All-In-One Docker container; What is the pricing structure of GoodData.CN?]. • License Requirement & Free Trials: Starting with GoodData.CN version 3.0+, a valid license key is required to start the platform [License Key; Want To Try It for yourself?]. Furthermore, GoodData no longer provides a standalone free trial or unlicensed free usage for GoodData.CN [Slack conversation]. • Production Deployment: For internal corporate production use, you must deploy the Production Edition via Helm charts on a Kubernetes cluster (public cloud, private cloud, or on-premises) using a commercial license [What is the pricing structure of GoodData.CN?; Install GoodData.CN]. Pricing, Limits, and Costs • Pricing Model: GoodData pricing is structured primarily around workspaces (where each workspace supports an unlimited number of end-users) rather than charging per user [Workspace pricing]. • Specific Quotations and Cost Estimates: The knowledge sources do not contain specific pricing amounts, custom quotes, or tier calculations for on-premise deployments. These details are handled directly by the Sales team. Recommended Deployment & Data Source Compatibility • Recommended Setup for Production: The recommended production deployment is installed via Helm charts into Kubernetes rather than a standalone Docker container [Install GoodData.CN; How to get started with the platform?]. The Docker image (

gooddata/gooddata-cn-ce

) is only suitable for local testing/development [All-In-One Docker container]. • Data Sources: GoodData natively supports connections to PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and CSV files [Supported Databases; Upload CSV Files]. The knowledge sources do not explicitly mention native support for Progress/OpenEdge or direct Excel (

) files as live data source connectors (though CSV files are supported).
