Datafold removes its SQL Proxy cost-saving feature
What changed
- Removed the "Cut data platform costs without sacrificing performance" section.
- Deleted the "SQL Proxy" feature that routed queries to cheaper compute resources.
- Removed mentions of "Intelligent workload routing" and "SLA preservation" for cost-efficiency.
- Shortened the page by removing a customer testimonial from the Lead Product Analyst at Rocket Money.
Why it matters
Datafold is shifting its focus away from data platform cost management. They are now doubling down on AI coding agents and data migrations. This suggests they see more value in helping developers build with AI than in managing cloud bills.
