As of May 17, 2024, Datafold has decided to cease active support and development for the open source data-diff tool to concentrate on enhancing their primary product, Datafold Cloud. Datafold was founded in 2020 to address critical aspects of data quality in a data engineer's workflow, such as data reconciliation and transformation code changes, through technology that compares datasets at any scale. Initially launched as a SaaS product, Datafold later introduced data-diff as an open source tool to increase accessibility within the community. However, the increasing demand for Datafold Cloud and the need to maintain two separate products with overlapping features have prompted the decision to focus exclusively on the SaaS offering. The company believes concentrating resources on Datafold Cloud will ultimately benefit its customers and the company, despite ending the open source project. Datafold plans to continue innovating data quality testing, having recently implemented improvements like sampling, real-time results, and enhanced database support, as they aim to cover the entire data quality lifecycle.
