We were on Hasura Cloud and really did not have a problem with it. But we moved away to self-hosted Hasura for more control over deployment and cost as we have 10s of same-schema MSSQL databases that we were orchestrating and the management and synchronization of metadata was becoming a bit of a pain.<p>They just announced dynamic connection routing[1] which is a feature we have sorely needed as it would allow us to run a single instance. Fantastic stuff.<p>It is marked as &quot;cloud &#x2F; enterprise&quot; only feature. Fine. Just yesterday we began to explore moving back to the hosted cloud service to prepare ourselves for availability of the feature.<p>And then today they announce this pricing change that 10x&#x27;s the amount we would pay! On top of that the max for dynamic connection routing for the Pro plan is listed at 1! What&#x27;s even the point???<p>Our opinion of Hasura has always been high and we&#x27;ve been quick to recommend it. But with the strategy and pricing in flux it&#x27;s hard to justify picking it for future API needs. They seem to pushing aggressively towards Enterprise or bust deals which is a shame because the features they are gating off behind the Enterprise wall are fundamental to many application architectures.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;rakeshkky&#x2F;graphql-engine&#x2F;blob&#x2F;dynamic-connection-routing-rfc&#x2F;rfcs&#x2F;database-connection-routing.md">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;rakeshkky&#x2F;graphql-engine&#x2F;blob&#x2F;dynamic-con...</a>
