I know which company I'd rather pick as a vendor.
This is ridiculous. Why can you not foresee such issues? Do you not do testing with mock data at the size you need? Migrating production between stacks so often means you are not getting new features in. This is pure churn.
I'm pretty ok with the march across products myself. It felt like the big shift was from shared giant clickhouse to lots of duckdbs. I wonder what juggling many more clickhouses would have been like. Excited and hopeful to here more back on Trini, with hope!
It's wild how many really really good data stacks are out there. Apache has been collecting some absolutely stellar projects. And it feels like the rest of world meaning everyone but China is kind of sleeping on a lot of these options. Maybe it's just that these projects often go out of their way to have a place for emblems, for who is using the project, but a lot of these have pretty wide ranges of companies using them.
I do wish we were still in an age of company blogging, where people did talk more to the tech getting played with, talk to what's cooking in the shop. It's great to have these outreaches. There's so much tech and we are just so quiet about it! There's so much less signal to go off of, so much less shared awareness than the aughts and 10's.
