Trial Kit Overview

The Gluesync trial kit provides a streamlined way to evaluate and understand our data synchronization platform. It includes carefully configured deployment manifests for both Docker Compose and Kubernetes environments, enabling immediate deployment and testing.

Trial Kit Components

  • Enterprise-grade License: Valid for 30 days, providing full access to Gluesync’s features

  • Ready-to-use Deployment Manifests:

    • Docker Compose configuration or Kubernetes Helm Charts

    • Pre-configured Gluesync Core Hub

    • Integrated source agent

    • Integrated target agent

Scaling with Multiple Agents and Pipelines

Gluesync is architected for enterprise-scale deployments, supporting multiple agents and data pipelines within a single environment. While the trial kit provides an excellent foundation with essential components, it’s designed to be expanded based on your specific requirements.

Deployment Flexibility

The trial kit serves as a starting point, featuring the components you initially selected during registration. As your needs grow, you can seamlessly:

  • Add additional source and target agents

  • Configure new data pipelines

  • Scale your deployment horizontally

Core Hub Architecture

A single Core Hub instance efficiently manages and orchestrates multiple agents within your environment. When new agents are deployed, they are automatically discovered and can be immediately integrated into your data pipelines through the Core Hub’s intuitive interface.

This architecture ensures simplified management while maintaining the flexibility to scale your data synchronization infrastructure as your requirements evolve.
