A database is core to your infrastructure...finding out your database is going away is a horrifying situation. Finding out that the time you have to migrate is a few months. Agh.
As others will say, there are options. Rockset helpfully posts links to a bunch of comparisons on their website, and these alternatives include ClickHouse, Elasticsearch, Druid, etc.. https://rockset.com/real-time-analytics-comparison/ https://rockset.com/real-time-analytics-comparison/
I'm inherently biased (as a member of the ClickHouse team). But do check ClickHouse out.
You can always come hang out in our Slack (clickhouse.com/slack) and, of course, the combination of hosted ClickHouse (clickhouse.com/cloud) and the open-source (github.com/clickhouse) may add a bit of comfort when your vendor up and disappears via acquisition.
- lolinder 2y agoTo anyone else who may be confused like I was: Rockset will, in fact, "gradually transition current customers off Rockset". The OpenAI announcement linked above doesn't say so, but the Rockset announcement does: https://rockset.com/blog/openai-acquires-rockset/ https://rockset.com/blog/openai-acquires-rockset/ Month-to-month users been given until September 30, which is a very short amount of time for a major infrastructure transition. Enterprise users are given a vague "talk to your account manager" answer: https://docs.rockset.com/documentation/docs/faq https://docs.rockset.com/documentation/docs/faq In other words, the above isn't just FUD from a competitor, there legitimately are going to be a lot of frantic refugees in the coming months.
- fullspectrumdev 2y agoI’ve no skin in this particular game that I know of but this migration period is really, really short.
- deanc 2y agoEspecially if you’re in certain parts of Northern Europe where it’s common to take the whole of July off work.
- fullspectrumdev 2y agoJesus having read the releases this comment should go up more given that I suspect a lot of shops will not have enough time to migrate.
