Workspaces

Use workspaces to organize your environments and projects.

On the Free plan, you can have 2 workspaces.
On the Startup plan, you can have 5 workspaces.
On the Custom plan, you can have 10 workspaces.

Gateways

The Velvet AI gateway is a proxy that warehouses requests to a database. Each workspace has one proxy.

On the Free plan, the gateway is hosted by Velvet.
On the Startup plan, the gateway can be hosted by Velvet or deployed to your Cloudflare account.
On the Custom plan, the gateway can be deployed to your infrastructure, or managed by Velvet.

Databases

Velvet logs AI request data to a PostgreSQL for short-term use, and an analytics database for long-term use.

On the Free plan, Velvet creates a hosted Postgres database per Gateway (powered by Neon).
On the Startup plan, you can bring your own Postgres database or use the Velvet hosted database.
On the Custom plan, you can bring your own analytics database (like ClickHouse or DuckDB).

Requests

There are soft request limits per month. After the request limit, we'll continue to act as a transparent proxy so you don't lose functionality - but new requests won't be logged to the database.

On the Free plan, you can send 10k requests per month.
On the Startup plan, you can send 1M requests per month.
On the Custom plan, you can send unlimited requests per month.

Data retention

Our data retention policies are designed to keep your log database performant and storage costs low.

On the Free plan, there is 30 day data retention or 10k logs.
On the Startup plan, there is 30 day data retention or 1M logs.
On the Custom plan, the data retention can be customized. Default is 30 days or 1M logs.

Data archive

Velvet can archive AI request log data to long-term storage. This reduces data storage costs while allowing for historical analytics.

On the Free plan, there is no automatic data archive. You can manually back up your Postgres instance.
On the Startup and Custom plans, you can configure Velvet to store your AI logs in S3 in the Parquet file format. Query archived data via ClickHouse or DuckDB.
