It uses a central server for management and lightweight agents that operate in outbound pull mode, eliminating the need to expose databases to the internet. The platform features three retention strategies (fixed count, time-based, GFS rotation), supports S3-compatible storage backends, and integrates with notification platforms like Slack and Discord. The central server is built with Next.js 16 and PostgreSQL, while agents have been refactored from Python to Rust for better performance and a 4x smaller Docker image. 64 2 2. 2 [](https://daily.dev/posts/chevereto-v4-4-s3-storage-and-multi-user-support-now-free-for-everyone-tdhjmcbai "Chevereto v4.4: S3 Storage and Multi-User Support Now Free for Everyone") Article Noted · 35w Chevereto v4.4: S3 Storage and Multi-User Support Now Free for Everyone Chevereto v4.4 now offers S3 storage and multi-user support for free, removing previous licensing barriers.
