How do you suppose AWS can monetize it?

AWS is always hungry. Watch out PostgreSQL

This doesn't even make sense. Postgres is and has been open source since the 90s and AWS has had an existing Postgres offering since approximately always.

And there is no single company developing. Its a healthy mix of engineers from many companies. A perfect model to prevent this issue here of being aquihired.

Can we stop consolidating everything under a handful of massive companies?

This will get a lot worse before it will get better. All the hyperscalers will inevitably drift towards total vertical integration.

Let's hope they never reach the "owning a private military" stage.

Wow, that sucks balls.

I guess this will be a good test of the open source model DuckDB has opted into.

As I understand it, DuckDB is MIT-licensed and governance is provided by a separate, non-profit DuckDB foundation. This was done explicitly to prevent BSL-ification.

I'm very curious to see whether that approach holds the line. I wouldn't bet on it, but one can hope?

This will be the engine for redshift now. They’ll make it read write and it’ll be magic.
