Higson is a tool for managing business rules: the instructions that tell your enterprise software how your company runs, like which customers are eligible for which products, or how to dynamically price your services.
Higson is a hyper-efficient tool for managing business rules that enables business experts to fine-tune these rules at run-time without relying on IT support.
This makes it easy to respond to rapidly changing circumstances without having to wait for modifications in the software's code.
Business rules can be quickly created or updated without having to go through lengthy and expensive development cycles.
The configuration is organized in a tree of business objects with attributes. Each attribute represents a decision to be made. Higson is compatible with any tech stack, including Java, .Net, and Python.
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.

See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance type you run Higson Runtime on. Each dimension maps to a specific AWS instance size, so pricing scales with the compute capacity you choose. Smaller instances like t2.nano and t3.micro suit light workloads, while larger instances such as c5.24xlarge, m5.metal, and m5dn.metal handle heavier processing. Pricing follows AWS instance families (t2, t3, t3a, c3, c4, c5, c5a, c5d, c5n, c5ad, m3, m4, m5, m5a, m5d, m5n, m5dn, m5ad, m5zn). You scale cost by selecting a size and running time.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one billing unit represent for each dimension?
Each dimension bills one running instance-hour of the matching EC2 instance type. You pay for every hour Higson Runtime runs on that instance. The hourly rate changes with the instance size you pick. Running two instances of the same type bills two instance-hours per clock hour.
Am I charged when the instance is stopped or idle?
The hourly software charge applies only while the instance runs. A fully stopped instance stops accruing Higson Runtime charges. Note that stopped instances may still incur separate AWS storage fees for attached volumes. The software meter counts running time only.
Does Higson Runtime need a separate policy administration system to work?
Higson is not a policy administration system. It runs alongside your existing systems and connects through REST API. It handles business rules such as pricing, eligibility, and underwriting. You still pay the hourly rate for the EC2 instance type the runtime runs on.

An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
