Highway to the Dev Zone
$9.00 / month
Bleeding-edge channel — your ElfHosted apps update in real-time as upstream releases land, instead of waiting for the maintenance window.
For developers and power users who want new features the moment they ship. Cancel anytime to return to the stable channel.
What is the Dev Zone?
By default, ElfHosted apps update on a predictable maintenance window so things stay calm. The Dev Zone subscription opts your stack out of that schedule and pulls upstream releases continuously, so you get new features and fixes as they land.
Who this is for
- 🛠️ Developers contributing to upstream apps who want to test in real-time.
- ⚡ Power users who want the latest features the moment they ship.
- 🧪 Anyone helping us validate a new feature before it goes wide.
Trade-offs
The Dev Zone is a higher-volatility channel — bugs and regressions land before they're filtered out by the stable cycle. The recurring price is intentionally set to discourage casual use and the support load it would create.
Most users should stay on the stable channel. If you have a real reason to switch, ping an ElfVenger on Discord — we'll usually waive the fee for legitimate cases (upstream contributors, beta testers, debug sessions).
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I leave the Dev Zone?
Cancel this subscription. Your stack moves back to the stable update channel automatically.
Will this break my apps?
It can. Bleeding-edge releases sometimes regress. Roll back by cancelling and waiting for the next stable cycle.
Can I get the fee waived?
Often yes — open an #elf-help ticket explaining your use case.
