📢 Update: Lower Data Cloud Credit Costs for Salesforce Sources
Salesforce just updated its
Data Services Rate Card(as of April 15), and there’s good news if you’re ingesting Salesforce CRM, Marketing Cloud, or Commerce Cloud data into Data Cloud.
🔹
Internal sources now cost ¼ the credits. External sources data pipeline cost remain the same.Yes—many of us would love to see this be free or have more flexibility with full refresh cycles. But given the real cost of cloud infrastructure, this update still represents a meaningful step in the right direction.
➡️ For anyone managing credit forecasts, update your internal rate assumptions.
Zero-Copy remains a strong alternative in many cases. If you’re wondering when to use it—or not—here’s a guide I recently published: 👉 Salesforce Data Cloud Zero Copy: When (and When Not) to Use It
âś… And rumor has it: credit tracking between prod & sandbox
is getting a much-desired simplification in the near-term roadmap!
Would love to hear what release updates stood out to you. Share your tips here—let’s keep learning from each other!
Hello @David Chater
,
Yes. Prior to April 15, we had Batch Data Pipeline. Now, there is the Internal Data Pipeline as you'll see in the attached screenshot that's consuming credits at the lower level.
