# Commercial Support
6+
7+
Durable Workflow is an open-source project and is free to use under the MIT license.
8+
9+
Commercial support and consultancy are **entirely optional** and are offered for teams that want additional assurance, maintainer-level guidance, or a formal escalation path when using Durable Workflow in production systems.
10+
11+
Using Durable Workflow does **not** require a commercial agreement, and all functionality remains fully open source regardless of whether commercial support is used.

## What Commercial Support Covers
16+
17+
Support engagements are led by the project maintainer and typically include:
18+
19+
- **Workflow architecture & design reviews**
20+
Guidance on modeling workflows correctly, including activity boundaries, signals, inbox/outbox usage, and long-running execution patterns.
21+
22+
- **Determinism & replay safety guidance**
23+
Help identifying and avoiding non-deterministic behavior, replay issues, and subtle correctness problems that can surface over time.
24+
25+
- **Upgrade & versioning strategy**
26+
Assistance with safe upgrades, workflow versioning, and determining when patterns like `continue-as-new` are required.
27+
28+
- **Debugging complex workflow behavior**
29+
Support with diagnosing stuck workflows, unexpected loops, signal handling issues, and other hard-to-reason-about runtime behavior.
30+
31+
- **Backports & patches**
32+
Access to fixes and backports for supported versions to help avoid maintaining private forks.
33+
34+
- **Custom integrations (by arrangement)**
35+
Help integrating Durable Workflow with existing systems such as chat platforms, approval systems, internal APIs, or observability tooling.

## Who This Is For
40+
41+
Commercial support is typically a good fit if you are:
42+
43+
- Running Durable Workflow in **production**
44+
- Building **long-running or human-in-the-loop workflows**
45+
- Operating in an environment where **correctness and upgrade safety matter**
46+
- Looking for **maintainer-level expertise** rather than generic consulting
47+
- Wanting to avoid forks and long-term maintenance risk

Engagements may take different forms depending on your needs, including:
54+
55+
- Advisory or design review sessions
56+
- Ongoing commercial support retainers
57+
- Short, focused project-based engagements
58+
