Honest question - why should you be entitled to a free (as in beer) high-quality database that provides open-source cross-datacenter replication? Typically that is a feature only needed/used by large enterprises with sizable IT budgets. Considering the product is complex to develop, why should someone do it for no compensation?
- fuck_google 10y agoIs it possible that the feature is only used by enterprises because no one else can afford it? Why would anyone contribute to an open source project without compensation? I can imagine that anyone using cheap VPS hosting at multiple locations for better reliability/accessibility/latency could have use for cross-datacenter replication.
