The freemium model of everything makes me skeptical and reluctant to buy too much into many things.
Bit like Pydantic. It's a JSON parsing library at the end of the day, and now suddenly that's got a corporate backer and they've built a new thing
Polars is similar. It's a faster Pandas and now suddenly it's no longer the same prospect.
FastAPI the same. That one I find even more egregious since it's effectively Starlette + Pydantic.
Edit: Add Plotly/Dash, SQLAlchemy, Streamlit to that list.
- akagusu 1y agoI am totally skeptic about freemium too. Are FastAPI and SQLAlchemy freemium too? I didn't know that. Can you share more info, please?
- physicsguy 1y agoThere's now a "FastAPI Cloud" product that the author is working on. SQLAlchemy just has paid for support, I shouldn't have included it with the others, I must have confused it with something else.
- akagusu 1y agoThanks for the information.
- sudodevnull 1y agoits a 501c3 with no shares. please tell me how its the same?
