- [11] Use of this technology within a Sitecore solution is permitted, but the Sitecore Support team can only assist with Sitecore product issues that are not unique to the use of the technology, that is, a Sitecore product issue that can be replicated without the technology present. In some cases, the Sitecore Support team may ask for replication of the issue without the use of the technology, although they will try to avoid this.
While Sitecore allows the use of this technology with Sitecore products, Sitecore cannot at this time provide guidance on how to develop or host production environments with this technology. Sitecore recommends that you consult with your partner or a specialized third party on subjects related to developing, designing, configuring, hosting, securing, or scaling this technology with Sitecore products.
