What can I build with Ale?
With Ale, you can deploy and automate front-end web apps, back-end services, serverless functions, and databases—all while sharing infrastructure with your team. You can also add essential features and efficiently build, deploy, and manage business software—all in one place.
How can I install Ale? Can I install it on-premises?
Ale offers flexible installation options, from a single server to multiple Kubernetes clusters. It supports managed Kubernetes services like EKS and GKE, as well as on-premises deployments. For detailed, step-by-step instructions, refer to the documentation.
Is Ale secure? Where is my data stored?
Ale is a self-hosted product that you install on your own cloud infrastructure, meaning we have no access to your data. Your information remains entirely within your control, ensuring security and compliance with your internal policies.
Is the Community Edition always free? What are the limitations?
Yes, the Community Edition is indeed always free to use. However, it comes with certain restrictions such as a limit on the number of users and the number of cluster connections you can utilize. Additionally, support options are more limited compared to paid plans. For teams that need more capacity or dedicated support, upgrading to a higher-tier plan is recommended.
Can I use multiple CSPs (cloud service providers) at the same time?
Yes, you can use multiple cloud service providers simultaneously, but this feature is available only on paid plans. This allows you to unify and manage different cloud environments, such as AWS, GCP, Azure, or on-premise clusters, through a single platform.
Can I get support for infrastructure issues that arise during installation and usage?
Yes. Advanced support for infrastructure issues is available through our Enterprise plan as a custom option. Other plans include standard assistance via documentation and community channels, but the Enterprise plan offers more comprehensive, tailored support for resolving installation and operational challenges.
