Lightweight Edition

Standard Edition

Professional Edition

Features

A minimalist web application hosting solution. It focuses on core resource provisioning and provides only the minimum feature set required to run applications.

Advanced application monitoring and microservice administration features are not supported.

A modular solution for microservice application monitoring and administration. It lets you select feature components as needed.

The advanced application monitoring and microservice administration features must be activated and are billed separately.

A one-stop, out-of-the-box solution for microservice application monitoring and administration.

You do not need to separately activate advanced ARMS monitoring and microservice administration features.

To use advanced ARMS monitoring and microservice administration features, select the Professional Edition. It is more cost-effective than purchasing these features separately with the Standard Edition.

Scenarios

Suitable for lightweight web applications, development or testing environments, and scenarios that do not require application monitoring and administration.

Suitable for applications that use a microservices model but do not require advanced ARMS monitoring and microservice administration.

Suitable for large-scale applications that use a microservices model, such as Spring Cloud and Dubbo, and require advanced ARMS monitoring and microservice administration.
