Only reason I'm kinda okay with this is because of the open source side is still strong. It's 90% of the features needed for a product, but the cloud offering is the same 90% but better for teams bigger than 3 and larger organizations.

I genuinely think that this pricing increase is justifiable, and also will spark more competition to DBT Cloud's features in the open source space to get select cloud features. Since they are objectively forcing out a large amount of small teams and start-ups

For instance, I was planning to organize the data side of my consulting side there, but it doesn't make sense to do that anymore. So if someone's doing that now, it Christmas is gunna be fun switching over to your own solutions

We use at this company the open source dbt for multiple teams, all bigger than 3, just fine.
Oh I just meant you actually start getting value at a team size of 3, not that once 3 people touch a repo it's unmanageable lol
