Lite, Cloud, or Enterprise: a field guide to running RetrySight

Same retry taxonomy, three deployment models. A practical decision framework for solo developers, growing teams, and platform orgs choosing where their agent telemetry lives.

  • deployment
  • guide
  • product

You shouldn’t need a sales call to figure out which version of a dev tool to install. RetrySight ships as three deployment models that share the same retry taxonomy and collector architecture — the difference is who’s looking at the data and where it’s allowed to live, not what it measures.

Start with one question

Who needs to see this data?

  • Just you, on your own machine → Lite
  • Your team, and you’re fine with a managed console → Cloud
  • Your org, and telemetry can’t leave your network → Enterprise

You can start on Lite and move to Cloud or Enterprise later without losing the mental model — collectors still read the same local agent logs either way.

RetrySight Lite — solo, local-only

Free and open source (Apache 2.0). A native desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux with in-process collectors — no Docker, no fleet manager, nothing to deploy. REST, GraphQL, and MCP are all served on loopback (127.0.0.1:18081), and nothing uploads anywhere unless you point it at a remote manager yourself.

Right fit if you’re an individual developer who wants to see your own retry patterns without asking a platform team to stand up infrastructure first. Download RetrySight Lite.

RetrySight Cloud — team, managed

We host the manager and dashboard; your developers’ laptops run a lightweight collector that pushes to it. Per-account ingest keys, row-level multi-tenant isolation, and the same retry taxonomy and cost views as Enterprise — without standing up your own stack. Currently in early access at cloud-staging.retrysight.com, so expect the environment to keep evolving before general availability.

Right fit for a small-to-medium team that wants one shared console today and isn’t ready to operate infrastructure for it. Start a Cloud trial.

RetrySight Enterprise — fleet, data residency

Runs entirely inside your network: manager, database, and dashboard on your infrastructure, deployed via Docker or Helm. Four tiers, starting free:

TierAdds
Core (free)Ingest, dashboard, live fleet feed, SSO wizard, Cursor/Claude Code/Codex collectors
AnalyticsCost analytics, executive PDF exports, extended collectors, local archive
IntegrationMCP server, ClickHouse dual-write, Claude Cowork OTel ingest
Cloud ScalePush ingest, object archive (S3/GCS/Azure), git enterprise controls

Right fit for platform or security teams where “we send agent telemetry to a third-party SaaS” isn’t an acceptable answer. Compare Enterprise tiers.

The rule of thumb

If you are…Run…
A solo developer evaluating retry visibilityLite
A team of a few developers who want a shared view fastCloud
A platform team standardizing across 50+ engineersEnterprise Core, then upgrade tiers as FinOps or MCP needs grow

Same signals, same taxonomy, different blast radius. Pick based on where the data needs to live today — you’re not locked into that choice tomorrow. Full comparison: Lite vs Cloud vs Enterprise.
