The problem goes as well - there is a fair amount of users who are happy to pay for OSS software, yet a lot of VC funded companies in the chase of growth invest much more than Open Source ecosystem is willing to fund... the usual result is change of license

Hehe. "All Benchmarks" he says...

Is it like free does of heroin so you get addicted and later pay dearly ? :)

In the fair world freesql.com would have hosted PostgreSQL

Note, if you're looking for MongoDB Enterprise features you can find many of them with Percona Server for MongoDB, which you can use for free the same way as MongoDB Community

I see the license is AGPLv3 while current MongoDB versions as SSPL - does it means you took the MongoDB Parser circa 2018 as a base ?

There is no one size fits all. On the small scale "managed" cloud which takes care of as many things as possible is effective. As you scale though it will cost proportional to environment size, except some discount. With solutions like Hetzner you get a lot more of hardware for the price but have to invest more labor into managing it, with automation however this labor does not grow nearly as much as your environment size.

You can also consider https://coroot.com - it supports integration both with Collector and without as well as simulated eBPF traces for applications which are not Otel enabled.

Should not we look for database to be able to do online, efficient non locking addition of column with any default value, not just NULL rather than application to have a complicated and fragile logic ?

Is there GitHub link or something ? Right now as I follow the link all it wants is for me to "login" before showing anything at all

Love hearing Open Source and SelfHosted but I do not clearly see link to the Github or other place where source code is. There is no link to the code in the launch message either.

One one side creators are welcome to choose whom to offer their software, on the other I wonder how it will stand in regard to "anti discrimination" in various countries.

In any case, just please do not call this Open Source :)

What differences from original mission do you see ?

This looks awesome!

What can be challenge with such solutions is getting the last 1% right when it comes to sharding tricky queries properly (or at least detecting queries which are not handled properly) and also isolation and consistency

Yep. This "little addition" to the license will likely make it non Open Source according to standard definition. It reminds me "Commons Clause" which Redis tried to add to its license years ago... and later pulled back.

I understand OpenWebUI team pain and perhaps not everything they do, they should do as Open Source

In my opinion you should think about Open Source as fundamental science - if you discover Gravity, people are going to use it and often not giving you any credit.

I think comparing it to Vector Database is confusing as database would typically mean indexes and some sort of query support.

Storing Embeddings with File is interesting concept... we already do it for some file formats (ie EXIF), where this one is generalized... yet you would need to have some actual database to load this data into to process at scale.

Another issue I see is support for different models and embedding formats to make this data really portable - like I can take my file drop it into any system and its embedding "seamlessly" integrates

If you USE Redis, you do not have to if you Embed Redis you do. Same with GPL

Yep. Actually if Redis would end up in CNCF and Redis Labs could provide commercial hosting, extensions - this would be outcome I would be excited about

Note AGPL license is in completely different class compared to BSD. Where BSD was level playing field allowing anyone to do commercial derivatives, now only Redis can do it.

I also question whenever this decision comes from the pure change of heart rather than threat of Valkey... and if so what else should we expect in the future

Looked at the repo. License of mix of Apache 2.0 and BSL is rather unclear.

I'm not sure whole "Observability 2.0" focuses on the most pressing problem, which is complexity, both in deployment and usage. At Coroot we focus not on the format of the data and whenever it should be one thing or several "pillars" but rather how easy is it to install it and get the value of resolving issues quickly and easily when you need to. https://coroot.com/

Not including original license may well be oversight, It is very unlikely Microsoft would intentionally to do something like this, which costs them really nothing, but not doing it can post a lot in the future in the legal costs.

For the rest - if you chose MIT license for your work you should expect it can be used by someone to create software based on it, including commercially licenses

I would treat anything you're releasing as MIT as the gift to the world. This is how Open Source suppose to work - people building on each other work, often without properly thanking authors and maintainers.

If you want to reserve some rights - chose who can use your software and for what purpose, ie ensure "Microsofts" of this world can't use your code in a way you do not approve, you should not release it as Open Source.

How are you using this data right now ? If you plan to use Coroot for visualization why not to convert it to more efficient format Coroot uses ?

I wonder if anyone tried to integrate Odigos with Coroot - looks like it could be really powerful!

I wonder when we can get LLM, which might be more "stupid" but knows what it does not know rather than hallucinates... Though perhaps when it would be not LLM but entirely different tech :)

VC = Growth fast or Die with Die being much more likely. Sustainable growth is not part of outcomes pursued.

Yeah. It is surprising this announcement does not come with link to Github.

Hopefully they can follow through - the challenge in such situation might be relying on some proprietary technology for your SaaS which you can't open source.

Yes. The keyword is "Proprietary" whenever it is offered by large company or small, Open Source solution you can chose to migrate to is what really offers you safety. This also tends to ensure multiple DBaaS vendors are available.

If AWS would chose to kill MySQL RDS... there are number of other solutions for MySQL DBaaS... even on AWS cloud.

Yes. We will work with you to help you, does not mean it is not going to be disruptive.

Changing database technology is hard. Moving off from cloud to self serviced option is also hard.

This highlights the challenge of smaller proprietary SaaS offerings - they can shut down abruptly leaving you in the bind.

It is great to see Fauna making a commitment to Open Source the project, which will be great option to have for their customers

I wish they would have started with Open Source project to begin with, perhaps future would be different

Looks cool!

If you're looking for this kind of UI also check out Coroot https://github.com/coroot/coroot which has awesome UI for logs and OpenTelemetry traces and also stores data in Clickhouse
