Is there a free (non-trial) version of Memurai available? - memurai

I'm just evaluating databases for one of our products and found RedisDb. Unfortunately this does not seem to be supported for windows and the current best option seems to be Memurai.
On their webpage I see that you can download a free 10 days evaluation version.
Is there a free version available like for other dbs (e.g. mongodb) or does someone now how much they charge for using this in an commercial product?

Memurai Developer is free to download and it is intended for explorations and development only, it is not intended for production use. After 10 days it will stop, however, a simple restart will make it run for another 10 days. There are no time-bombs, or restrictions on how many times Memurai Developer can be restarted.
Memurai Enterprise is designed for production use; the pricing is dependent on the use-cases. For more details please contact the Memurai team https://www.memurai.com/contact

Camunda 7 Community Edition volume limitations

I'm testing various workflow management solutions. This is how I met Camunda. Studying it as a product it seems very valid, but unfortunately, I can't find in the documentation a scheme where the limits of the simultaneous instances that can be managed with the community version are specified.
Does anyone have any idea of this info or know where to get it?
I would need this information for version 7
There is no such limitation with Camunda 7 Community Edition.
Actually this is an open source product under Apache License V2:
https://github.com/camunda/camunda-bpm-platform/blob/master/LICENSE
https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.18/introduction/licenses/
As I know, for Enterprise Edition pricing will depend on your
activity instances counts for some period of time.
Also there is comparison of CE vs EE:
https://camunda.com/platform-7/editions/
You can run as many process instances simultaneously as your database can handle. The engine does not differ between Camunda 7 CE and EE. Here you can find some sizing recommendations: https://docs.camunda.io/docs/components/best-practices/operations/performance-tuning-camunda-c7/
If you are interested in very high volumes, you may also want to take a look at Camunda 8, which has a fundamentally different architecture to achieve higher throughputs.

Google cloud won't let me increase GPU quota until I've used my present quota, which is 0?

Apparently google will not offer support for free trials, so there is no way to get official help on this.
I am trying to set up a free trial version of google cloud, to run a deep learning project on a cloud GPU. After setting up a project, I wish to add a machine learning VM. I go there, and it tells me I need to increase my GPU quota. However, when I follow the 'change quota' link, I can't change the GPU quota, because I am not using my currently available quota (which is 0) ...
Does anyone have any ideas on what to do? The aim for me was to make a guide for my students who will need this resource in a few days. I got it to work on another google account in summer, but need to go through it again on a fresh account, so I can tell my students what it will look like for them. So, I think I'm familiar with most of the steps, but I haven't seen this "service usage history" error before.
Google has restricted few products in free trial. You can upgrade the account during the free trial. Both free trial and paid will be running simultaneously but you will be paying only for restricted products which were not available in free trial. .
The GPUs on Compute Engine are no longer in beta and are shown in free trial. But, you can start machine learning in free trial mode as the quota is 0.
However you can try products which are machine learning based like Auto ML, Vision API, Bigquery(Depending on your project and your needs) as per free tier usage limits. Also check out GPU pricing.
This issue seems to somehow be related to the fact that I have already used the 300 USD on a different google account. I tried it with a colleague who had not used any paid google product before, and it worked just as it should.
So, somehow, either through my credit card info or something else, google cloud knows about the other account.

Google Cloud Speech API on production

As we know, Google Cloud Speech API is in Beta now.
Will it be safe to use it in a application on production server?
I was also searching for the applications which is using Google Cloud Speech API, So far I have found the following,
VoiceBase, Hyperconnect, InterActiveTel
Does anyone know of any other applications that could give us more confidence in using it on production server?
The official definition of GCP launch stages, such as Beta, can be found in our documentation here.
Beta is the point at which we are ready to open a release for any customer to use. There are no SLA or technical support obligations in a Beta release, and charges may be waived in some cases. Products will be complete from a feature perspective, but may have some open outstanding issues. Beta releases are suitable for limited production use cases.
Emphasis is mine: Limited production. Ultimately, it is going to come down to your risk appetite.
As of Tuesday, April 18, the Cloud Speech API has reached General Availability, meaning all features are open to developers and are to be considered stable.
Voicebase provides more than just speech recognition and it is currently used in production by large customers. Take a look at some of the features

Sitecore testing licenses

I currently work for a company that uses allot of Sitecore servers and has many dev seats across Europe.
A problem that I have run into is that we desperately need a testing environment for Smoke Testing, Automation Tests and other Manual pre QA deployment.
The internal department that deals with licenses says that kind of environment is classed a a full server and requires the full license fee (which has allot of zeros!!)
Because its an enterprise business we are now in a catch 22 situation. I have heard that spinning up a new VM on the machine I am developing on is allowed on a developers license / and I can reusue my developer license on any machine as long as i am the only person that uses it.
So, if our tester sets up his own test machine that only he uses, its covered by his developer license? That thing will be rebuilt several times a week and never have anybody else connect to it really, maybe other developers. (license overlapping?)
Anybody have any similar issues or solution? I need to provide formal proof if I have any chance of pushing this forward. (I contacted sitecore also but it may take a while for them to come back, Just looking too see if anybody else may help in the mean time)
I have experienced this same scenario with several clients who did not purchase licenses for their test servers but are now wondering if their developer seats can cover this. I have always recommended that a separate server license be procured and not to attempt to use the developer seat.
You state that you need a 'formal' proof. That can only be obtained from your Sitecore sales rep. They are usually very quick to respond to clarify licensing questions on what your particular licensing agreement covers for your organization.
If you are working with an implementation partner, they may also be able to help you understand your licensing, but in most cases they would still need to confirm with your Sitecore sales rep.
Sitecore 8+ licensing structure has changed and will allow you to create multiples of Virtual Machines using a single license. This can be leveraged for test systems, load balancing, pre-production or quality assurance uses.
IMHO: The only reason they did this was to probably get onto the
"cloud" marketing train and realised their 1990's extremely restrictive licensing terms
needed to be overhauled as it prevented them selves from using their
own software in virtual machines.
So prior to Sitecore 8, No. You have to have a full license for each machine and each machine.
Basically extremely restrictive licensing that cost a fortune, as that is the Sitecore business model.

What is a better mBaaS that supports offline sync and caching?

What is a better mBaaS that supports offline sync and caching?
I am evaluating several mBaaS solutions for my hybrid mobile app under development. I looked at Kinvey, Kii, buddy, and Telerik BackEnd platform. I have also came across some open source solutions like openmobster and dreamfactory. I am looking to store data in sql-lite on mobile app and then sync it back with an online data store. Kinvey has this support, but their pricing model (per user) is not suitable in my scenario. I can see that openmobster does this but, how is what I need to understand? Can I host in on Azure VM or something? Also please suggest if there is any other solution commercial/open source capable of doing offline sync and caching with push notifications and data storage?
DreamFactory could be a good fit for your scenario. It is open source and comes with a full 30 days of free support. After which it's only like $25/month for a developer account - and this isn't even a requirement to use its product. It's specifically a support package.
To address your question a little more in-depth... I don't believe DreamFactory supports offline syncing at the moment, though they plan to very soon. In regards to sql-lite, DreamFactory's (DSP) product has a built in sql-lite driver to connect to that DB. However, it hasn't been tested enough for them to say it is a fully supported RDBMS. One of the beautiful things about DreamFactory is you're able to host the DSP (DreamFactory Service Platform) on Azure and Amazon EC2 instances (cloud solutions), host locally on your own server, or even use its own free hosted edition!
I would definitely take a little time to look into DF. It doesn't seem to me like you have much to lose. Especially, considering it's a free open-source product!
Feel free to ask me any questions you may have about DreamFactory!
