Typical questions are: * How many instances do you expect per day/month/year? * What is the average amount of data? * Should the environment have High Availability? * What kind of integrations/processes will you have - stateless or stateful, long running processes derived from the requirements, and evaluated at the very beginning? A topology blueprint should be created and validated against these requirements.

Our licensing is annual, but I am unsure of the exact cost.
High price, now with Oracle cloud, there are more options of pricing.
This product is WebLogic based, hence it can be both resource hungry as well as expensive from a licensing point of view.
