Licensing mixes also needed lest vendors give too much away
On the eve of the Cockroach Labs' annual conference, CEO Spencer Kimball commented about the virtues of a rival database company."There are real benefits to the way MongoDB does things, and that's why a lot of developers like it," he toldThe annual shindig saw the database company – which counts Netflix, Comcast, and delivery service Shipt as customers – launch its 24.2 release, featuring new vector search capabilities compatible with PostgreSQL's pgvector extension.
"Developers prefer it; it just makes those early stages of application development really breezy, and that's a benefit. If you're building the back end for a mobile application, is a really good choice," he said. Kimball argued that one of the unheralded benefits of relational databases is that they allow complex use cases to develop over five to ten years.
Cockroach had used MariaDB's Business Source License 1.1 as the basis for its approach, allowing users to run the Core product on as many nodes as they wanted, so long as they did not commercialize it. Cloud-based database services remain unchanged.the"Enterprise Edition" creates a sales-oriented approach in which developers are"squeezed by the vendor.
"We're finding a path that maintains many of the things we felt were most important about open source without being overly zealous about the prerogatives of open source, which have in many ways been challenged just by how the whole ecosystem has evolved, and especially the move to cloud services and huge cloud platforms, able to offer free software that other people have written without really contributing back to it.
