This reads like sales copy. It's freemium FOSS-washed crippleware with a radioactive license (AGPL). Hard pass.
I'll stick to FOSS solutions that don't require licenses to unlock closed-source components and can be patched by a community and/or yourself.
Edit: Previously, there are other commercialish OSS NoSQL solutions for large-scale apps that are less proprietary with better licenses like Couchbase (not Cassandra CQL).
- newaccount2021 4y agowhy the hostility? they're trying to build a sustainable business so their product can have a future, which in turn benefits those who can avail themselves of their open source is paying for support really such a raw deal if you are using their produce to generate your own revenue?
- cvccvroomvroom 4y agoYou don't understand AGPL and have a consumer, pay-to-play mindset... sorry, but no sale. Come back when all of the features are available to everyone and it's a BSD-2 license with optional support.
- PeterCorless 4y agoScyllaDB Open Source is a fully functional NoSQL database. It is far from "crippleware" as many of our FOSS users can and have publicly attested.

- Thev00d00 4y agoYou forgot your [Disclosure: I work at ScyllaDB.]
- darkwater 4y agoWell, it's in their bio (but I agree that it would have been nice). Full disclosure: 3rd time I hear abut ScyllaDB.
- PeterCorless 4y agoAh! Had that on a prior post. But yes. It me.
- darkwater 4y agoWhy are you so hostile to AGPL? If you are a product user, you have enough skills internally to modify the software code, what's the issue in contributing it back? Also in the end they are basically trying to force AWS etc to give back to community even if it's just internally used. I don't think it's that bad.
- cvccvroomvroom 4y agoThen you don't understand how software licenses work in the real world. AGPL means it's radioactive and, furthermore, it can't be made into a cloud service. BSD-2 clause is a far more permissive license. Please come back and speak when you understand how these things work.
- darkwater 4y agoI perfectly understand how those things work, and I also dare to guess that being radioactive for cloud services was PRECISELY the motivation to choose AGPL for ScyllaDB developers. Redis, Elastcsearch, Cortex etc taught that lesson already.
