Read the following FAQs to discover how you can start your free trial. ### How do I start using Upsolver? You can sign up at and enjoy a free trial. *** ### When does my free trial end? After creating your Upsolver account, your 14-day trial will commence when you successfully run your first job. This gives you unrestricted time to explore the user interface, familiarize yourself with the features we offer, and explore our SQL reference to learn how to build pipelines. When your trial expires, you will need to [contact our sales team](mailto:sales@upsolver.com) to extend your trial or purchase Upsolver via [Amazon Marketplace](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-alv6hmf7tipyw?sr=0-1\&applicationId=AWSMPContessa) to keep your data flowing. Your Upsolver experience will be limited to a single cluster, which will automatically hibernate after three hours of inactivity. Clusters will automatically restart after you log back in, which typically takes 3-4 minutes. *** ### Where is my cluster deployed? Upsolver control plane used to manage the Upsolver application is deployed on multiple availability zones in the AWS US-EAST-1 region. Compute clusters used to process customer data with Upsolver’s managed SaaS offering are also deployed in the US-EAST-1 region. To enhance data privacy, customers may choose to deploy compute clusters to their own AWS VPC running in their choice of AWS regions. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
