Microsoft acquires Citus Data (YC S11)
In the latest world of Postgres:<p>- we now have closed source Amazon Aurora infrastructure that boasts performance gains that might never see it back upstream (who knows if it's just hardware or software or what behind the scenes here)<p>- we now have Amazon DocumentDB that is a closed source MongoDB-like scripting interface with Postgres under the hood<p>- lastly, with this news, looks like Microsoft is now doubling down on the same strategy to build out infrastructure and _possibly_ closed source "forked" wins on top of the beautiful open source world that is Postgres<p>Please, please, please let's be sure to upstream! I love the cloud but when I go to "snapshot" and "restore" my PG DB I want a little transparency how y'all are doing this. Same with DocumentDB; I'd love an article of how they are using JSONB indices at this supposed scale! Not trying to throw shade; just raising my eyebrows a little.
