The clinical backend is open source and runs in your own AWS — no Business Associate relationship with us. When you'd rather not operate it yourself, the managed tier carries the BAA and the on-call pager.

bonfireDB is early-stage. The open-source core is where the product lives today; the managed and enterprise tiers are in early access and are listed to describe direction, not a fully shipped, generally-available offering. Pricing for paid tiers is not yet finalized — talk to us and we'll be straight about what exists and what's still being built.
Same backend underneath. The line between tiers is operational responsibility and the BAA — not features held hostage.
Hackathon, prototype, or a team comfortable in its own AWS. Start with Open Source — it's the whole thing.
You want a partner who carries the BAA and runs the backups. Managed Cloud early access.
Single-tenant, BYOC, contractual SLAs. Enterprise / BYOC — let's scope it together.
The custom MCP builder ships in every tier. Propose-only writes, citations, and ABAC scoping are built in, not bolted on.
Start on the open-source core today and move to managed when you're ready for us to carry the BAA.
The open-source core is free under Apache-2.0 and runs entirely in your own AWS. The Managed Cloud tier is in early access and the Enterprise/BYOC tier is talk-to-us. Paid-tier pricing is not yet finalized.
Same backend underneath — the line is operational responsibility and the BAA, not features. Open source gives you every primitive but you operate backups, monitoring, and upgrades; Managed Cloud (early access) means we host it, sign the BAA, and carry the pager.
On the open-source tier you self-host in your own AWS, so there's no Business Associate relationship with us. On the Managed Cloud tier we sign the BAA, backed by our AWS BAA. bonfireDB is pre-launch, so the managed tier is early access.
We can't give a verified head-to-head — HealthLake and Aidbox pricing change, so check their current terms. bonfireDB's open-source core is $0 to license and runs in your own AWS; you pay only your AWS infrastructure. Managed pricing isn't finalized yet.
Yes. The Apache-2.0 core is the whole product with nothing held back, and it runs in your own AWS. You're responsible for backups, monitoring, and upgrades; community support is via Discord and GitHub.
