Editions: Community vs Enterprise¶
Vornik comes in two editions built from the same core:
- Community Edition (CE) — this repository, AGPL-3.0. The complete orchestration core; fully usable for personal and small-team work.
- Enterprise Edition (EE) — a proprietary overlay that adds advanced capabilities, offered with commercial support and a hosted SaaS by EaseIT Labs.
Feature matrix¶
The table below lists which capabilities are included in each edition. A Community build includes only the rows marked Community.
| Capability | Community | Enterprise |
|---|---|---|
| Task orchestration (tasks, leases, durable execution) | ✅ | ✅ |
| Workflows | ✅ | ✅ |
| Tool access over MCP | ✅ | ✅ |
Control CLI (vornikctl) + HTTP API |
✅ | ✅ |
| Guided Integrations Hub (connect channels from the UI) | ✅ | ✅ |
| Counterfactual replay / “Black Box” | — | ✅ |
| Learning / “Instinct” layer (learned budgets) | — | ✅ |
| Clustering / horizontal scale | — | ✅ |
| Admin suite | — | ✅ |
| Memory firewall | ✅ | ✅ |
| OIDC / SSO | — | ✅ |
| Log shipping (Logship) | — | ✅ |
Cross-project orchestration (call_project) |
— | ✅ |
| NL Automation Composer (describe-it project setup) | — | ✅ |
| User accounts and channel/key→account mapping | ✅ | ✅ |
| Configuration assistant | ✅ | ✅ |
| Architect consultation over A2A (contract-gated) | ✅ | ✅ |
A Community build registers and wires none of the Enterprise capabilities — they are not merely hidden, they are not present in the binary.
Which edition do I need?¶
- Community is the right choice for personal use, evaluation, and small deployments — it is the full orchestration engine, not a crippled demo.
- Enterprise is for teams that need the advanced capabilities above, SSO and governance, horizontal scale, or commercial support / the hosted SaaS.
