The Pipeline-Based Model was the first licensing model offered by Digibee to its customers. It is still used by some customers, but is no longer commercially available. This model is ideal for organizations that need cost predictability based on the number of pipelines, rather than the volume of usage.
In the Pipeline-Based Model, resource consumption is measured in licenses. Each pipeline deployment — whether in a Production or Test environment — consumes the same license, with no distinction between environments.
In this model, a minimum of 10 licenses must be acquired. Each license includes 1 Pipeline and 1 RTU (Runtime Unit). A license is consumed with each deployment, and only deployed pipelines consume licenses.
The Pipeline-Based Model uses a multi-tenant platform, where all customers share the same infrastructure and all available resources. However, each user account is assigned to a specific realm. Data is not shared across realms, and all information is protected by Digibee's security system.
In the License consumption page, you can track your usage and manage the pipelines and licenses available in your realm.
The billing is directly related to the number of licensed pipelines, regardless of the execution load or volume of data processed. The consumption chart shows the number of pipelines deployed in Prod and Test and the Licenses consumed in both environments.
When deploying a pipeline on the Run page, a modal will be displayed showing how much will be consumed and how many licenses will remain available after the deployment.
It’s important to adapt the license usage to your company's infrastructure and business needs. In this model, each pipeline corresponds to one license, which is equivalent to a Small Runtime slot.
The deployment sizes offered by the Digibee Integration Platform are:
Small: 1 RTU (1 license)
Medium: 2 RTUs(2 licenses)
Large: 4 RTUs (4 licenses)
For example, if you have to deploy 10 pipelines and decide to deploy one in the Large size (4 RTUs), only 7 pipelines will be covered in 10 RTUs, assuming all are running the same environment. See the example below:
In this case, you would need to purchase additional licenses to deploy the remaining pipelines.
