  Quix splits cleanly into two offerings. Quix Streams is the open source
  Python stream-processing library, free for everyone under the Apache 2.0
  license with no account required. Quix Cloud is the managed platform (managed
  Kafka, Kubernetes deployments, the Streaming Writer / Reader / Portal APIs);
  it offers a 30-day free trial of the Professional tier with no credit card,
  consumption-based paid usage, and a custom Enterprise tier (including BYOC /
  on-premise hybrid). The HTTP and SignalR APIs themselves are features of a
  Quix Cloud environment rather than separately priced products.
notes: >-
  Quix Cloud usage is consumption-based and tied to the compute, replicas, and
  managed Kafka backing your deployments; specific per-unit rates are quoted by
  Quix and are not published as a fixed public rate card. Verify the current
  trial length and consumption units on the Quix pricing page during
  reconciliation.
