redfly.ai license agreement

redfly.ai is two products under two licenses. The summary below is a plain-English guide; the binding terms are linked from each section.

1. Open-source demo (AGPL-3.0)

The redfly repo on GitHub at github.com/redfly-ai-org/redfly.ai is a working demo of an alternative redfly deployment model; a single gRPC API that handles Redis-cached reads and database writes from one endpoint. It is not the production redfly product. It is published under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPL-3.0) for transparency, inspection, and community input.

You are free to clone, modify, run, and redistribute the demo, provided you preserve the AGPL terms. In short, AGPL-3.0 is a strong copyleft license: if you modify and host a derivative as a network service, you must make the modified source available to your users.

The full and binding AGPL-3.0 text is available at gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.en.html ↗ and is included in the GitHub repository.

2. redfly API & Sync Service (commercial)

The production redfly product consists of (a) the redfly API, which serves your application data with caching woven into every read path, and (b) the redfly Sync Service, which keeps Redis in lock-step with your source database via change capture (SQL Server change tracking, PostgreSQL logical replication, or MongoDB change streams).

Use of the production product is licensed directly by redfly.ai under a commercial agreement, subject to the redfly.ai Terms of use and Privacy policy.

3. What you can do with the open-source demo

• Inspect the alternative architecture and see how the pieces fit together.
• Run the demo gRPC API locally to evaluate the API-first deployment model.
• Use the performance verification and sync-proxy testing utilities.
• Contribute back via pull request; we welcome it.
• Redistribute modified versions, provided you comply with the AGPL-3.0 terms.

4. What requires a commercial license

• Production use of the redfly API.
• Connecting your database to the redfly Sync Service.
• Production use of any redfly-managed Azure infrastructure.
• SLA, support, customized onboarding, or add-on integrations.

Commercial licensing is purchased directly from redfly.ai. See Pricing for available plans, or contact enterprise@redfly.ai for custom terms.

5. Trademarks

"redfly", the redfly.ai wordmark, and any associated logos are marks of redfly.ai. All other product names referenced on this site or in the repository (including Microsoft, Azure, SQL Server, Redis, MongoDB, and Postgres) are the property of their respective owners.

6. Disclaimer

This page is a plain-English overview for the convenience of readers. The binding terms are the AGPL-3.0 text (for the open-source components) and your commercial agreement with redfly.ai (for the commercial product). If the summary on this page conflicts with those binding documents, the binding documents control.
