DataForge Cloud vs DataForge Core
Select DataForge Cloud for an end-to-end scalable cloud solution, allowing your teams to focus on building data products rather than orchestration and infrastructure.
Open Source
DataForge Core
A lightweight framework to build functional data transformation code. Best for teams who want to adopt the declarative model and manage their own infrastructure.
Limitations at scale:
- No extract/load functionality
- No incremental refresh
- No circular table dependencies
- No support for schema evolution
- Syntax checking at compile time only
- Manual lineage analysis
- SQL only
- Requires integration with other tools
Recommended
DataForge Cloud
Extends Core's capabilities to a fully managed, end-to-end declarative data management platform. Everything you need to build, run, and operate modern data pipelines.
Everything in Core, plus:
- Extract, Load, Transform, and Publish
- Change data capture and incremental loads
- Circular and self-referencing dependencies
- Automatic schema evolution
- Real-time syntax checking
- Graphical lineage interface
- SDK for Python, Scala, R, and SQL extensions
- Native integrations with external tools
