How does licensing work?

When you purchase NES for Django, you acquire a commercial license for the support services. Our pricing model is based on the number of users that will be committing Django code to the project repo. Users are unnamed and transferable across team members.

Does HeroDevs have an SLA for NES for Django?

Yes. Our response times vary based on the severity of the issue. Security-related and application-breaking issues are our top priority and will be resolved immediately (same day if possible). We can provide our SLA for your team to review upon request.

What Django versions does NES support?

NES for Django supports various versions, including the EOL version 4.2. We provide ongoing support and patches to keep your applications secure and operational.

NES for Django helps maintain compliance by providing security patches and updates, even for older versions. Additionally, our enterprise-grade SLA stands up to HIPAA, SOC-2, PCI DSS, etc., and ensures your compliance with these standards. Many CVEs may affect older Django versions, and we address those for you.

Why do I need NES for Django?

Using an unsupported version of Django exposes your applications to security vulnerabilities and compliance risks. Upgrading to the latest version can be costly and time-consuming.

What’s the future of Grails with the upcoming Spring Boot 3.5 EOL?

Apache Grails 6.x has been out of Support since October 2025 and depends on deprecated Spring Boot 2.7.

Apache Grails 7.x is still in support but depends on a soon-to-be end of life Spring Boot 3.5, which has an End of Life date in June 2026.

Grails 8 has yet to be released, but is planned to be built on Spring Boot 4.x. The window of time for release and lapse in support is nearing.

If you are still using your Grails 6.x or 7.x reliant on EOL or soon-to-be-EOL versions of Spring Boot, what is your plan? Time is running out.

The Problem We Solve

Grails is entrenched in large enterprise and mid-market organizations with mature, multi-year application investments, but the framework faces predictable End of Life (EOL) cliffs.

The EOL Cliff

Grails 6.2.x reached EOL on October 19, 2025, and Grails 7 is built on Spring Boot 3.5, which is scheduled to go EOL on June 30, 2026

Exposure
