How might we · kernel 2.73.13 · install first $999

Get a workgroup off a core-pack bill without another annual meter.

Dual-engine workgroup database. SQL and Tachyon ISAM in one process. Install the $999 5-user workgroup first; quote Enterprise HA after testdb is on their hardware. Engine trial is 30 days and full-featured including HA; then writes need a license. JOIN and CTE on TCP 2143 return ERROR — they are not implemented. Control Center is /console on operator HTTP 8098. Pack 17 is Workbench analog, not the host kernel. Host --headless leftover EXTERNAL. certifiedClaim stays false.

VERIFY INCLUSION · two JSON filesok

Kernel 2.73.13 · Lean chrome · leftover named in the same frame. Not a 2.18.0 screenshot.

Three jobs. One kernel.

Vacuum

Your digest vendor died. The need did not.

AWS ended QLDB. Aurora kept the table and dropped the proof. Optional hash-journal analog on this kernel. VERIFY from two JSON files. Journal does not replace Raft.

Stitch

Stop stitching three systems.

etcd + Redis + Grafana + a prompt box is an afternoon, not a product. One compiler in the workgroup and in veloce-stdio. HITL is auth. We do not replace redis-server.

You do not need a region to COMMIT.

Closable. No mandatory cloud. Unplug optional keys. The plane stays up. Speak if you want. Nothing is deleted. Production workgroup still needs a license after day 30.

What it talks to

TCP 1583

Workgroup ISAM

Tachyon keyed records + status surface

Clean-room Tachyon analog with classic workgroup status codes (0/4/5/9/22/84/95). Protocol-class TCP 1583. Native multiplexer leftover EXTERNAL.

TCP 2143

Relational SQL

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM TESTDB + INSERT / GET / MINSERT / MGET

CRLF line protocol. SELECT COUNT(*) FROM TESTDB, INSERT, GET, MINSERT, and MGET commit. JOIN, CTE, CREATE DATABASE, and BEGIN return ERROR on 2143 — they do not echo OK. ODBC, JDBC, and the veloce CLI talk here. psql does not. Native multiplexer leftover EXTERNAL.

TCP 8098

Operator HTTP

health / livez / readyz / metrics / verify

Distinct livez vs readyz, Prometheus /metrics, speed histograms, GenRM pairwise analog, SPIRE probe, /api/v1/cluster, /api/v1/citeforge, /api/v1/fabricmesh, /api/v1/provebench, /api/v1/cag, /api/v1/verifier, /api/v1/evidence, /api/v1/vbridge, /api/v1/integrity, /api/v1/observatory, /api/v1/vibe, /api/v1/cord.

TCP 1584 · optional replica 2583/3143/2584 · lb 3583

Cluster HA

membership, failover, replica reads (Enterprise / trial)

Nodes JOIN and HEARTBEAT on 1584. Testdb-only replica. Stop the replica before restarting the primary or the replica auto-promotes (split-brain). Fence example host03-1584. UFW: loopback + peer /32. If the primary goes quiet, a replica is promoted (epoch fence: only one primary). GET/MGET can run on a replica after SET ROLE replica, or through velocedb-lb. Replica INSERT/MINSERT forwards then mirrors (proxy, not multi-master). Not Always On. Standard after trial is single-node. Nine-region fabric, DPDK, Istio, and K8s stay EXTERNAL.

127.0.0.1:5432 · optional pooler :6432

PostgreSQL sidecar

Optional checkpoints / pgvector — psql lives here

Not required. You install Postgres yourself, bound to 127.0.0.1 only. psql talks to that sidecar (and native PgBouncer on :6432 if you run it). The 2.18 session-pooler package is an in-process analog and does not listen on 6432. Tachyon SQL on 2143 is not PostgreSQL wire.

Full 2.19–2.73.13 changelog

Two installers, two platforms

Workgroup Standard 5-user

$999 5 users

Install first at $999. Same dual-engine workgroup as unlimited Standard: Tachyon ISAM (TCP 1583) plus relational SQL (TCP 2143). Cap is 5 concurrent SQL+ISAM TCP clients on 1583 and 2143; the sixth gets ERROR. Cluster 1584, operator HTTP 8098, and UDS are not seats. Windows, Linux, and macOS. 30-day trial is full-featured including HA, then activate the VELOCE-W5- key. Not Lite.

Workgroup Standard

$3499 new

One perpetual dual-engine workgroup license: Tachyon ISAM (TCP 1583) plus relational SQL (TCP 2143). Unlimited seats. Windows, Linux, and macOS. Engine installs include a 30-day free trial; then activate the key from your account.

Previous customers: $299 to current 2.73.13.

Workgroup Enterprise

$9999 HA

Standard plus testdb HA analog, journal unlock, and dual-audience evidence pack. Unlimited seats. Same installer as Standard; a VELOCE-EE- key unlocks cluster size >1. Writes commit on the primary. Not Always On. Not RAC.

Client Toolkit

$199 perpetual

ODBC, JDBC, and CLI for Windows, Linux, or macOS workstations talking to a workgroup engine.

Fulfillment

Stripe Checkout. Paid → license key → latest 2.73.13 download for the OS you picked. Upgrade SKU ships the same Workgroup installer. Packages include session-pooler analog, WebRTC, release plane, verify-genrm, and SPIRE UDS analog.
