Datafold now supports shared connection budgeting across
in-database diffs
cross-database diffs
in-memory diffs
This feature ensures consistent, predictable behavior for database usage across the system—particularly important in environments with limited database connection capacity.
Datafold now enforces a shared connection limit per database across all supported diff runs.When a maximum number of connections is configured on a data source, this limit is respected collectively across all running diffs that target that source—regardless of the type of diff.This ensures that no combination of diff runs will exceed the specified connection cap for the database, providing:
✅ More predictable resource usage
✅ Protection against overloading the database
✅ Simpler configuration and expectation management
Connection limits are enforced automatically once set—no need to configure them at the individual diff level.
Shared connection budgeting is controlled via your data source configuration.Once a Max Connections limit is set, it will be automatically enforced across all supported diff runs targeting that database.
