Licensed-only
These capabilities are unavailable in Community Edition (including Community Plus) and unlock when you license the Server with an Enterprise tier.

Community Edition note
Community Edition (including Community Plus) includes the core pipeline model, but some DSL components are licensed-only. These Inputs, Outputs, and Actions require an Enterprise tier (Small+).
Inputs
Outputs
Actions
Shared entitlements
Jobs, Inputs, Actions, Outputs, Channels, and Worker-based execution as the foundation for all pipelines.
A consistent UI for building, editing, and reviewing Jobs in every tier.
Validate and inspect pipeline behavior with sample data before pushing changes into production.
Filtering, masking, normalization, parsing, and enrichment available across all editions, with advanced actions in licensed tiers.
Start with core local and HTTP connectors; licensed editions unlock cloud stores, brokers, and database connectors.
Upgrades
Keep your pipelines; extend your capacity
Your Jobs, Workers, routing logic, and transformations stay the same across editions. When you outgrow a tier, you increase your ingest license and Worker envelope — not rebuild pipelines or migrate to a different product.
Same Server
One control plane across Community Edition, Community Plus, and Enterprise tiers.
Same Jobs
Identical Job definitions and Visual Editor experience as you scale.
Same Workers
Workers scale horizontally; you extend the licensed capacity, not the model.
Enterprise FAQ
Your license defines permitted daily ingest. The Server enforces those caps so pipelines cannot exceed licensed throughput.
Yes — licenses are per Server (one Server per license). Limits are expressed as daily ingest volume plus the permitted Worker and Job envelope on that Server.
No. Jobs, Workers, routing rules, and transformations all carry forward. Upgrading means increasing ingest capacity, not redesigning pipelines.
LyftData is self-managed inside your infrastructure — cloud, VPC, on-prem, or hybrid. Your data plane remains under your control.
Need guidance
We can help map your current ingest, routing patterns, and retention goals to the right tier — or start you on Community Edition and grow from there.
