You already mentioned two examples. But open sourcing a database doesn't just prevent against the folding of the company behind it. It creates a community that drives improvements and helps prevent the project from folding. Clickhouse

The "developer" edition of Memsql does not permit you to put it into production and doesn't have any high availability features. So basically you can only run the enterprise version which starts at a minimum commitment of $25

I don't think you want to measure your timeseries datastructure against LSM-trees because the latter is inherently a pretty bad structure to use for timeseries (which are mostly append-only) as a few projects painfully found out. Anywa

Your math doesn't work out. If 10% are real, you'd need to bid 90% less. And that also totally ignores that you are bidding against others and wont get clicks for 90% less.
