Memsql + AMPS have "contact us" pricing unfortunately. Do you know any sharded queue (like amazon sqs,iron-mq) open-source ?

Yes, those are both closed source but great companies that will work with you. Happy to put you in touch if you want. MemSQL also has a completely free community edition. For open-source fast and clean messaging, I'd recommend NATS, they recently built NATS streaming that builds on top of the pub/sub to include kafka like persistence - http://nats.io/ http://nats.io/

  Yes but memsql community doesn't have high availability (voltdb does the same thing). I don't think nats can be used like I said by looking at the docs.

    It has clustering: https://nats.io/documentation/server/gnatsd-cluster/ https://nats.io/documentation/server/gnatsd-cluster/ What are you looking to do? Sharding for what? Data size? Throughput?

Some companies are closed source for a really good reason: it allows for Vertical Integration and Focused Execution. Bay Area companies spend millions of dollars worth of engineers salaries in projects that layer complexity upon complexity (and you need dozens of engineers to maintain them), just because they are in love with idea of open source. This is dangerous proposition, and it stifles innovation. There is an opportunity to dramatically simplify a lot of data pipelines.

  I understand that but not everyone lives in SF or creates a microservice for each function they have hosted in an overpriced ec2-vm inside a subpar docker-container using json-serialization. You can have (open-source or free) and develop without community (i think like chrome does that). The question is: is it worth it ? Without vc-money-cash it's a little hard AND time-consuming.
