I guess most of the larger deployments are self-managed rather than their SaaS offering... Do you think this is mostly running on top of hyperscaler infrastructure? Or in traditional enterprise data centers? I'm just surprised because

There's a pent-up frustration about the imbalance... US businesses are not allowed to do business in China; meanwhile Chinese businesses run freely in the united states.. until that imbalance is fixed business executives are going to u

If I had to guess you're probably an Enterprise customer of Google cloud? I'm not sure that's a representative take.. of course there's going to be a lot of sales and relationship manager types because you're a cust

That's impressive. I'm genuinely surprised they have users at this scale. Are there others?

Outside Olobserver here... isn't it a huge distraction from your core mission to be maintaining a fork of a database engine? Why not just use something like MongoDB Community if you're trying to avoid paying for database and need

Well if the company can build a business then you can get great software to use... while in theory it would be great if a bunch of incredible software were done purely in the spirit of community open source, in practice that's pretty l

Odd to see the market leader in this space not listed. It's "web scale"

I just don't understand why they didn't go with a copyleft license like SSPL; is it because they're worried too many people will self-manage in the Enterprise and not pay them?
491.
by redwood 2y ago
I'm surprised ParadeDB didn't evaluate the SSPL which is very much the spiritual successor to the AGPL; or maybe the AGPL should evolve to take on aspects of the SSPL (in other words keeping copy left thriving in a hyperscaler wor

What kind of scale are we talking to out of curiosity?

This is an extremely misleading statement. You have to jump through hoops to do expressive queries, with a limited set of index primitives, a query optimizer that doesn't take advantage of anything that resembles nested JSONB, and synt

I'm genuinely curious what you mean when you say "relational data"? I've seen this phrase thrown around and I think it's something of a misconception. The way you use the term implies that you're referring to t

I think you have a very thoughtful take but believe it's a mistake to think of 'NoSQL' as a monolithic category.. There's a very wide spectrum from having an evolvable document oriented data model with evolvable strongly

Good point, but with the mass layoffs and salary balancing going on, the government may find itself in a relatively more competitive place than it used to

Azure is really sub par yet more people are using it than eve due to OpenAI. What a sad thing

Right if you want to use a sharded and replicated system with a document data model, might as well use the real thing rather than introduce the risk and impedance mismatch of an emulation layer. The whole point here is for folks to not have

I think the article may actually convey the opposite of what many assume it conveys, namely that if you use a document oriented database as a tabular join oriented relational database instead of using it with intuutive object centric denorm

Feels like this would have been a good fit for zoned sharding in MongoDB -- hot shards that would age out to cold shards, never having to deal with the lack of strongly consistent secondary indexes or transactions, and not having to deal wi

But this does not mention Snowflake so it's on 100% clear it's the same root cause. And if it is the root cause being discussed elsewhere here namely that a customer engineer with partial data for demos... could that really have h

It's unclear if it's customer metadata or real customer data data?

Knowing little about the company, it's almost certainly completely untrue to state the "the company was highly profitable"; you don't hire 160 people in an OSS-centric business and also turn a profit. You likely have a d

Over-hiring is a calculus that shifts depending on macro market conditions. To pretend otherwise just isn't an honest assessment of what it means to be a business leader. In the zero interest rate era, it was irresponsible for business
