The real cost starts after launch

Launching a business application is only the first cost. Keeping it secure, compliant, supported, and upgradeable for years is where technical choices become business commitments.

Apps that outlive their roadmap
Some systems run for a decade or more, long after the version they were built on stops being maintained.
Upgrades that turn into projects
Staying current shouldn't require a major effort every time the platform moves forward.
Compliance that needs proof
Security and accessibility sign-off requires certificates and reports your auditors can hold, not promises in a sales call.
Infrastructure you can't change
Your apps run on the application servers your organization has already approved, and some in restricted or air-gapped networks.

What Enterprise Edition adds

Everything Enterprise Edition adds sits around the framework, not inside it. The additions come in two parts: assurances that give your security and procurement teams documented evidence, and capabilities your enterprise teams need.

1. Assurances

The formal commitments that come with Vaadin Enterprise Edition, for organizations that need documented evidence and procurement-ready terms before standardizing on a platform.
15-year maintenance

Every major release is maintained for 15 years from its announcement, well beyond the standard window.
Security review

Annual third-party review of Enterprise Edition, with report and certificate.

Accessibility review
Annual third-party review of Vaadin's components, with a certificate and an Accessibility Conformance Report (VPAT) covering WCAG 2.1 Level AA, Section 508, and EN 301 549.
ISO 9001 & 27001
Certifications for the processes behind Vaadin's delivery and maintenance.
Fixes first
A defined response path for vulnerabilities, with notice before public disclosure.
Indemnification
IPR indemnification and custom agreements, depending on contract.

2. Capabilities

The enterprise capabilities teams ask for, all included in the edition.
Enterprise runtime support

Verified support for Spring Enterprise and selected enterprise Java runtimes, including JBoss EAP, WebSphere Liberty, and Payara Enterprise, on supported Vaadin versions.
Upgrade and migration tooling
The Vaadin Migration Toolkit and maintained OpenRewrite recipes automate the repetitive parts of moving older Vaadin applications to current versions, making upgrades more predictable.
Vaadin Acceleration Kits
Includes the Acceleration Kits for SSO, Observability, Kubernetes, AppSec, and Azure.
Air-gapped development environments
Offline license checking and a local Vaadin MCP server for AI-assisted development inside isolated environments, with no public-internet dependency.

The same Vaadin, with enterprise assurances

Vaadin lets Java teams build full-stack web apps without creating and maintaining a separate JavaScript frontend. Enterprise Edition is that same framework, backed by the assurances a business needs.
One full-stack team

Java teams build the whole web app, from UI to data, in one language. That means fewer handoffs, faster delivery, and less to staff for.

Less to maintain

Vaadin manages and tests up to 750 dependencies for interoperability, so your team isn't tracking them one by one.

Secure by default

Vaadin secures the communication layer by default and keeps UI logic on the server, out of the browser. It's backed by a 25-year security track record in sensitive sectors like banking and government.

Open standards, no lock-in

Vaadin builds on Java, React, and the open web, with an Apache 2.0 open-source core you can freely use, modify, and run. A mainstream foundation you own, not a niche stack or a vendor lock-in.

Which Vaadin is right for your team

It's the same framework across Free, Pro, and Enterprise Edition. Pick the one that matches how long your application has to last and what your organization has to prove.
