Before you begin

This page applies to Apigee, but not to Apigee hybrid.

View Apigee Edge documentation.

The topics in this section explain how to provision a trial (evaluation) Apigee instance.

You can evaluate Apigee at no cost for 60 days with a trial (evaluation) Apigee organization. Evaluation organizations are an excellent way to test the functionality and feature offerings of Apigee, subject to the following limitations:

  • Free trial (evaluation) organizations are limited to a 60-day lifespan, after which the organization is deleted.
  • Evaluation organizations are subject to Google's Pre-GA Offerings terms and should not be used for production workloads or to store sensitive data.
  • Apigee's evaluation organizations are not regularly updated with the latest Apigee features and security patches.
  • Evaluation organizations can't be converted to paid organizations. Any resources created in the evaluation organization must be exported in order to be used in a paid organization.

You can find steps for provisioning eval organizations using a UI or the command line, as noted in the table below.
