End of free backend for AL Object ID Ninja
I hoped I would never have to write this post.
When I first released AL Object ID Ninja back in September 2021, my dream was simple — to give every Business Central developer a painless way to manage object IDs, forever free.
And for four years, that dream held true.
Ninja has quietly prevented hundreds of thousands of conflicts across thousands of teams. It became the invisible backbone of smooth collaboration for our community — always there, always free.
But as Ninja grew, so did the infrastructure behind it. What once cost a few peanuts now costs a small fortune every month. To keep it running fast, reliable, and evolving, it’s time for Ninja to take its next step — from a free community service to a sustainable, premium platform.
What’s changing — and when
You can continue using Ninja for free until 31 December 2025.
After that, you’ll have two options:
- Self-host Ninja on your own Azure subscription — and keep it free forever.
- Subscribe to the new Premium Ninja backend — and enjoy a hassle-free, continuously improving experience.
Either way, you stay in control.
