## SAP Business Technology

- `compute/sap-business-technology` | trial-only | evidence documented | binding retention-clamped | category container and VM sandbox
- needs card yes, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-11-04T02:24:16.354Z (live) | stale on 2026-12-05
- url https://developers.sap.com/concepts/btp-free-tier-service-plans/
- free tier: "When using Kyma, the free plan is available only once in a global account for up to 30 days." Quoted from the pricing page: "SAP BTP trial is a non-commercial, time-limited offering that gives you 90 days... At the end of the trial period, your SAP BTP trial account will be shut down." | unit: none | metered on: wall-clock | read on: 2026-10-22 | source: [1] | note: trial-credit
- per-object cap: not applicable | source: [1]
- retention: Kyma, the managed Kubernetes runtime, is free once per global account and only for 30 days, and the free tier model itself needs a Pay-As-You-Go or enterprise agreement account, so there is no renewable free cluster. | source: [1]
- egress: not stated | metered: no | source: [1]
- identity: card
- interface: cli
- limits:
  - retention-clamped (binding): Kyma, the managed Kubernetes runtime, is free once per global account and only for 30 days, and the free tier model itself needs a Pay-As-You-Go or enterprise agreement account, so there is no renewable free cluster. [1]
- limits note: Kyma, the managed Kubernetes runtime, is free once per global account and only for 30 days, and the free tier model itself needs a Pay-As-You-Go or enterprise agreement account, so there is no renewable free cluster.
- binding note: the same as limits note
- interface detail: btp CLI (command line client) for account administration, an alternative to the SAP BTP cockpit web console; the cf CLI is used to enable Cloud Foundry; SSH and REST access not read
- tooling: btp CLI (the SAP BTP command line client, with JSON output for scripting) and the cf CLI for Cloud Foundry
- composes with: Nothing durable. A 30-day Kyma cluster is enough to test a manifest once, and the 90-day trial covers the build, which is the shape of a trial rather than a platform to run on.
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: The widely quoted '4 GB of free memory' figure was not confirmed on any page read and is deliberately absent rather than repeated.
- extras:
  - facets.class: refutation-trial-only
  - facets.free_tier_kind: trial-credit
