MemSQL is doing great work...However from a strategic point of view, I wonder how they plan to compete against 2 of the world's largest DB vendors (SAP and Oracle) at their core product. Oracle's flagship DB has more R&D, sale

I wonder what they even develop internally at Tibco. They seem like they are in that spot between producing their own software and acquiring products. A solution with Tibco means integrating multiple expensive products, some of which they a
