A useful evaluation
Fits teams that want an API/data layer and collaborative data tooling on top of an existing SQL database without migration.
Check plan boundaries, prerequisites and the ongoing operating effort before committing.
Put it to work
- Write one task and the outcome that would make the tool useful.
- Check the edition, pricing metric, limits and deployment requirements against that task.
- Run a narrow evaluation and record what would trigger a paid or higher-touch plan.
Limits and tradeoffs
The paid Team tier is substantially more expensive than Core and Enterprise pricing is custom.
