Frequently Asked Questions
Is qqq really free?
Review the LICENSE, NOTICE, and individual source-file headers in the exact framework release and each dependency you select. The repository-level license does not replace component-specific materials. See /licensing for the source links.
What's the difference between qqq and qRun?
QQQ is the Java application framework. qRun is a planned managed hosting offering; it is not required for QQQ 4.0. Confirm availability and service terms before planning a deployment.
Do I need qStudio to build qqq apps?
No. Use Java 21, Maven, and your preferred IDE. qStudio is an optional product preview and is not part of the QQQ 4.0 release gate.
What databases does qqq support?
The 4.0 modules include relational, MongoDB, SQLite, file-system, S3, and REST backends. Operations and query support vary by backend. A shared action interface does not guarantee cross-backend joins or transactions.
Can I self-host qqq applications?
Yes. Build a Java application and run it on infrastructure you control. You configure the database, authentication, TLS, backups, monitoring, and deployment process.
What are qBits?
qBits package reusable application metadata, data integrations, or extensions. The 4.0 train includes templates; production business qBits have separate release and compatibility checks.
How do I install a qBit?
Use a qBit's verified Maven coordinates and version, then register its metadata producer in the host application. Follow that component's README. A catalog preview is not an installable package.
How does enterprise support work?
Contact QRunIO to discuss support requirements and agree scope, availability, and response terms. The framework release itself does not include a support SLA.
