Feature Phase Definitions
The following table defines maturity phase of TSB features.
| Stages | Alpha (Technical Preview) | Beta | Stable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Features | May not contain all of the features that are planned for the final version. | Feature complete but likely to contain a number of known or unknown bugs. | Feature complete with no known bugs. |
| Production usage | Should not be used in production. | Usable in production. | Dependable, production hardened. |
| API | No guarantees on backward compatibility. | APIs are versioned. | Dependable, production-worthy. APIs are versioned, with automated version conversion for backward compatibility. |
| Performance | Not quantified or guaranteed. | Not quantified or guaranteed. | Performance (latency/scale) is quantified, documented, with guarantees against regression. |
| Documentation | Lack of documentation. | Documented. | Documented with use cases. |
| Environment | Tested on single environment (EKS or GKE only). | Tested on at least two environments. (EKS, GKE, OpenShift) | Well tested on multiple environments. (AKS, EKS, GKE, MKE, OpenShift) |
| Monitoring | Not all important metrics available. | Most of important metrics are available. | All of important metrics are available. |
