# Release stages

Edera uses release stages to communicate the maturity and support expectations for features and products.

## Early Access  
Early Access features are available for evaluation and feedback. They are not production-grade.

- **Stability:** Behavior, configuration, and interfaces may change based on feedback before General Availability.
- **Support:** Best-effort. Early Access features are not covered by standard enterprise support SLAs.
- **Security:** Early Access features have not completed Edera’s full security review and make no isolation guarantees. Do not use them for untrusted, multi-tenant, or production workloads.
- **Documentation:** May be incomplete or subject to change.

Early Access exits at the product manager’s discretion based on feedback and readiness.

## General Availability  
General Availability (GA) features are production-grade.

- **Stability:** Interfaces and behavior are stable. Breaking changes follow standard deprecation policy.
- **Support:** Full enterprise-level support applies.
- **Security:** Features have completed Edera’s security review process.
