These are categorized as non-urgent and project-based, requiring a separate assessment and planning process. The response and implementation timeline for these requests will be mutually determined, subject to resource availability, project complexity, and the terms set forth in the applicable Order Form.
End Of Life Policy
Our Support is aligned with our End of Life Policy, ensuring service and updates are provided for the most recent versions of the Weaviate Offering. Upon a version reaching end-of-life status, support will be discontinued as defined at EOL Policy.
