Open core stays open. Enterprise lives on top.
Open source lets you see what is wrong inside your Java services. Axelix Enterprise lets you control it: policies that keep problematic code and unsupported dependencies out of production, plus the identity, audit and support that security and compliance teams require.
The core is open source, and it stays that way.
Axelix OSS is distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License, version 3, an OSI-approved open-source license. You can use it free of charge, including in closed-source commercial software, and the open-source edition is never cut down to make room for Enterprise.
View the source on GitHub →Enterprise is a full distribution of Axelix, not an add-on.
Axelix Enterprise replaces the open-source edition in place. It contains everything in OSS, so moving from one to the other is a smooth swap, not a migration project.
- 01Swap the distributionReplace the Axelix OSS dependency with Axelix Enterprise.
- 02Keep your setupYour configuration, console and MCP integrations carry over unchanged.
- 03Turn on what you needEnable policies, SSO, RBAC and audit when your team is ready.
Open source shows you the problems.
Enterprise controls them.
- Live runtime inspection: beans, configuration, transactions, loggers, thread dumps, GC
- Embedded MCP server for AI agents
- Code quality findings for every service
- Maintenance status of every dependency
- Self-hosted, community support on GitHub
- Quality and dependency policies enforced before production
- SSO, SCIM and granular RBAC for humans and agents
- Immutable audit log and compliance evidence
- Multi-cluster fleet, on-prem and air-gapped installs
- Named engineer, SLA and priority CVE patches
Side by side
Features and support, in one contract
Enforcement policies
Policies as code for code quality and dependency health. A service that breaks a policy does not reach production.
SSO & identity
SAML / OIDC, SCIM provisioning, group → role mapping. Plug into your existing IdP.
Granular RBAC
Per-action policies, per-service scopes, per-environment guards. One model for humans and agents.
Compliance & audit
Immutable audit log, SOC 2 / ISO 27001 evidence pack, BYO-S3 export, retention policies.
Multi-cluster fleet
Federated masters across regions, single pane of glass, region-aware routing.
On-prem & air-gapped
Offline install bundle, no telemetry, BYO container registry. For everything that can't leave the network.

We're picking a handful of teams to shape what ships first. Tell us about your fleet and we'll be in touch within a working day.
- 01Intro callTell us about your services, your stack and what hurts most in production.
- 02Pilot on your fleetWe set up Enterprise with you on a few services and agree on the policies to enforce.
- 03Shape the roadmapRegular check-ins with the core team. Your feedback decides what ships first.
