The steam of Open Source databases – On all cylinders, almost!

Allen Terleto, Field CTO, Redis takes us through what makes open source databases relevant and handy-to-use – like less-flashy but critical enterprise-grade features, dedicated vendors and GRC policies. He also addresses many doubts around community constraints, security holes, the rise of NoSQL and web 3.0 orientation.

What is the current scenario of adoption, scalability and developer ecosystem of Open Source databases?

When open source databases first gained prominence, the developer ecosystem was primarily dominated by self-motivated individuals that were empowered to bring their art to the world and solve new problems. At that time the ecosystem was small, since most programmers still worked directly for enterprises and hence were only approved to use a specific set of database technologies. This limited their opportunity for open source development to personal time on nights and/or weekends, which left the majority disenfranchised from the process.

Today things are very different. Enterprises have embraced open source and even promote for their employees to work on open source projects during business hours. Additionally, the viability and demand for open source databases has led to the creation of private consulting businesses for their support and product companies which add enterprise features/versions.

So it has become better for the enterprise milieu now?

AI is not a product per se, like an iPhone or laptop! You cannot log into Amazon or Etsy and buy an Al!! Just look at the development of Al! If it is that easy to develop and deploy, it cannot be a wonder, at least, not for me! At best, it is a tool!
