What's next for Vaadin 23 users as free support ends?
Free support for Vaadin 23 is coming to an end. Here's how to move forward.

⚠️ Editor’s note (August 2025): Since this post was published, Vaadin’s plans have changed: Premium is now Team and Ultimate is now Enterprise. The Team plan adds developer support and components, while the Enterprise plan includes long-term maintenance (15 years) and modernization tooling. Polymer support is now included in both Team and Enterprise. See the Pricing page for current details.

As highlighted in our roadmap, free support for Vaadin 23 will conclude on July 11th, 2024. From Vaadin 23 and Hilla 1 onwards, our simpler release model ensures that all major versions receive free support for one year after the release of a new major version. We're committed to helping with upgrades and always recommend our users adopt the latest version. This ensures access to new features, better performance, and improved developer productivity.
