Frequently asked questions

Choose self-hosted if you want full control and have the capacity to manage infrastructure yourself. It is fully open source and licensed under AGPLv3. If you want to evaluate Caution internally without AGPL obligations, contact us at info@caution.co for commercial licensing.

Choose managed on-premises if you need workloads on your own servers but want Caution to handle updates and operations.

Choose fully managed if you want the fastest path to production with zero operational overhead.

Early access gives you a pre-release version of Caution that you can use either through the hosted alpha program or by self-hosting the open source stack. At this stage, Caution supports AWS Nitro enclaves only.

The software is under active development and may introduce breaking changes. Alpha is intended for teams that want to experiment with verifiable compute, test workflows end to end, and help shape the product. Learn more here.

No. The alpha is for evaluation and experimentation, not for high value production workloads. You can deploy real code and see the full verifiable compute workflow, but you should treat this as a testing environment.
