Implementation of the license and payment system¶

With the Pipeline Generator feature, we implemented the license and payment system. You can see all the details of the license’s levels and the feature unlocked in the pricing page. Regarding the payment system, we are using Stripe!

Creation of generate.r2devops.io¶

Generate is a new page that will replace our actual pipeline page, where R2 helped you to build your pipeline with his questions. Generate works like Pipeline Generator, but will only give you access to a light-version of your pipeline. In order to see the whole thing, you need to create an account in R2Devops!
