Atlas FAQ
Common questions about Atlas, answered from independent, dated evidence.
What is Atlas?
A tool for managing database schemas declaratively as code, supporting schema migrations, security policies, data lineage, and multiple database backends. Includes both open-source and cloud-hosted versions with audit capabilities. It is indexed under ORM & Database Tools.
Is Atlas free to use?
Atlas is open source, so it can be self-hosted and used at no licence cost. It is released under the Apache-2.0 licence. Paid editions are also offered: Atlas Pro and Atlas Cloud, priced on request. Pricing changes often, so verify at source before relying on it.
What platforms does Atlas support?
Atlas supports the web and a command-line interface. Platforms we have not confirmed are simply not listed here rather than ruled out.
Can Atlas be self-hosted?
Yes. Atlas can be deployed cloud / SaaS, on-premise and self-hosted, so it does not have to run on the vendor's infrastructure.
What does Atlas integrate with?
We have confirmed 3 integrations for Atlas, including GitHub, AWS Marketplace and Slack. This is what we could verify from public sources, so the vendor may support others we have not indexed.
What security certifications does Atlas have?
We have independently confirmed SOC 2 and GDPR for Atlas. Certifications we do not list are ones we have not been able to verify from public sources, which is not the same as Atlas not holding them. Always confirm compliance directly before you rely on it.

Is Atlas open source?
Yes. Atlas is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, a permissive licence that generally allows commercial use and modification. Licence terms can change between releases, so verify against the repository for the version you intend to use.

The vioscaleAI score: one lens on the evidence
Not user reviews and not a paid placement: a confidence-weighted blend of the independent signals below (adoption, activity, security posture, and more), which you can sort and re-weight yourself. Vendors can correct their listing but can never move their rank, and stars are weighted low as a vanity metric. It is one way to read the evidence for Atlas, not the verdict.
