Kinda ironic that Planetscale built their company on open source Vitess that google built
And now planetscale have made a Vitess like equivalent for Postgres which they have made proprietary
- hiyer 16d agoThey have made it proprietary so that providers like AWS can't build their own service with it, thus eating into PS's income. Google is big enough to survive open-sourcing Vitess, k8s, angular, etc. Planetscale isn't.
- samlambert 16d agocorrect. AWS do anti-competitive stuff to us all the time we can't make it any easier for them.
- Onavo 16d agoWhat a convenient excuse
- figmert 16d agoGoogle, Azure, and AWS already have their highly available PostgreSQL alternatives.
