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

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.

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

OpenTelemetry is interesting, On one side it is designed as the "commodity feeder" to number of proprietary backends as DataDog, on other hand we see good development of Open Source solutions as SigNoz and Coroot with good Otel support.

I was with MySQL AB in its early days, It's codebase and behaviors was much worse than it is now. Yet we had a team of people who loved MySQL and was focused on making it better.

I think this is unfortunate culture change in Oracle land - they hire mercenaries rather missionaries to work on the code, so such "I never loved it, but I worked on it for years" is not a surprise.

MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, PostgreSQL all have skeletons in their closet. Yet if PostgreSQL developer would be leaving with similar attitude community would raise much more to defense
