So we now have two GPU powered databases that do exactly same thing, MAPD and brytlyt.
Is there a plan to open source brytlyt? There is no way we would use the database for our product that is not open source ( see FoundationDB story )
- pgv 9y agoHey Rkwasny, We believe the usefulness of open source to the end user really depends on the maturity of the product. Open source is great once the product is mature. But if the product is relatively new then end users are exposed to all the issues inherent in immature software without the support intrinsic to proprietary software. To balance this, we have a free community edition that contains all the features of our fully supported enterprise edition.

- pgv 9y agoJust want to let you that independent benchmarking has now shown Brytlyt to be the fastest GPU Database ever: http://tech.marksblogg.com/billion-nyc-taxi-rides-p2-16xlarge-brytlytdb-2.html http://tech.marksblogg.com/billion-nyc-taxi-rides-p2-16xlarg...
