My customers aren't pretending it's a bad thing that Neki isn't open source.

- xyzzy_plugh 24d agoYou've simply chosen not to listen, considering that they've voiced those concerns to me.
- cschmatzler 24d agoA year ago in the initial announcement post you explicitly mentioned open sourcing it. > When we are ready we will release Neki as an open source project suitable for running the most demanding Postgres workloads. Has this changed?

- dkgs 24d agoAcknowledging the benifits of keeping a commercial product closed source is one thing, claiming open source has no value is another thing. Sad to see this coming from a company that was itself built on the foundation of an open-source project like Vitess.
- samlambert 24d agowho said open source has no value? I worked at GitHub for 6 years i clearly love open source. We maintain Vitess using our company funds. Why are you going after a small company for defending itself against companies like Amazon but not criticizing the reason we have to do this. I would love to open source Neki and I have not said we won't.
- xyzzy_plugh 24d agoSee? You're proving my point. All you do is play games. Are you even capable of engaging without confrontation?
