This feels like a MongoDB sponsored post. How badly would you have to fuck up to be considered a poor imitation of MongoDB?
In any case I don't see how having their own hosted version of MongoDB is a middle finger to open source, but Aurora SQL/PostgresQL isn't. Is Cockroach a middle finger Postgres? I don't consider this any more a middle finger than the SSPL.
- tanilama 8y agoHow credible techcrunch should be considered a reliable journalism source here? This one smells pretty much like a money article
- tomnipotent 8y agoTechCrunch lost credibility a loooong time ago (well before being sold to AOL). It's safe to ignore any drivel it publishes.
- Aramgutang 8y agoThat sentence was presented clearly as a quote from the MongoDB CEO, and followed immediately by "[t]hat’s a pretty feisty comment." I don't entirely disagree with your overall assessment, but it could just be a case of clickbait journalism, rather than payola.
- denisvlr 8y agoIt’s clearly presented as a quote from mongoDB’s CEO.
- jhanschoo 8y agoThe quote tickles me because in earlier days MongoDB's choice of defaults gave it a reputation as a poor imitation of a reliable document store.

- pritambaral 8y ago> In any case I don't see how having their own hosted version of MongoDB is a middle finger to open source Especially when MongoDB is itself no-longer open source. In fact, AWS is providing a service compatible with MongoDB 3.6, which is open source. In a way, AWS "forked" MongoDB 3.6 after the creator of MongoDB made the software proprietary. Isn't that what Open Source is supposed to provide?
- dcreemer 8y ago> How badly would you have to fuck up to be considered a poor imitation of MongoDB? I literally laughed out loud at this. Thanks for the humor.
