Ah yes, another riveting tale of a company bravely abandoning CockroachDB—because who needs effortless #scaling and high availability anymore? 😂 Instead, let's embrace the pure joy of squeezing #Postgres into a #multiregion setup like forcing a square peg into a round hole, but with EXTRA #compliance costs! 💰🔧

Heck I dunno if you can tune pebble #cockroachdb

PostgreSQL, we've generally heard, is "good enough" for most intents and purposes.

We'd love to know what YOU think. What's stopped you from using #PostgreSQL in the past, and what solution did you choose instead? When have you opted for #Postgres where it turned out better than expected? 👂 💬

Here's a non #oss move from #cockroachdb

1. You can't use CockroachDB in production without a License Key from Cockroach Labs
2. You can't disable telemetry data collection without special permission
3. You can only use it for free in limited development scenarios or during trial periods
4. Any modifications you make must maintain the original license restrictions

🚨 Breaking news: #CockroachDB is playing musical chairs with their #license once more! 🎵 Because nothing says "trustworthy" like a #database that changes its rules more often than you change your socks. 🐜🔄 Just another day in the tech world, where #consistency is overrated and confusion is king. 👑😂

Open-source isn't just about licenses; it's a social contract between creators and users. When projects like #CockroachDB, #ScyllaDB, and #Redis shift away from #open-source, it's not just a technical change but a moral one. https://fale.io/blog/2024/12/31/a-bad-year-for-open-source-databases

Even though I am not attending AWS reInvent this year, I am still following the product announcements. This one is pretty cool. I have been ramping up on my distributed SQL skills over the past year with both CockroachDB and YugabyteDB. I will need to free up some time to try this one out. #AWS #AWSreInvent #Aurora #CockroachDB #YugabyteDB #DistributedSQL #DSQL

While last week's #OxideAndFriends was about #CockroachDB's license change, a very large part of it was @dap and @bcantrill discussing the pain that can be felt by choosing software based on community sentiment rather than thorough testing. The point is driven home in a discussion of using #Postgres beyond its design limits. This is mostly in the first half of the episode.

The Register: #cockroachdb scurries off to proprietary software land

#CockroachDB scuttles away from #opensource Core offering https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2024/08/19/cockroachdb_abandons_open_core/

Here it goes again. Cockroach Labs is moving #CockroachDB to a fully proprietary license.
To be fair, they've already shifted away from #opensource back in 2019, when they replaced Apache2 with Business Source License #BSL for their Core.
(* just realized they've taken down the 2019 blog)

This joins the recent #relicensing of #Redis, #Terraform and other prominent #FOSS projects. Which brings us back to the fundamental question:

#CockroachDB (distributed transactional system) plans to retire its open source "Core" product in favor of a new Enterprise licensing structure for self-hosted users after the introduction of version 24.3 in November: https://www.theregister.com/2024/08/19/cockroachdb_abandons_open_core/
