  Just looking at the database release (not the company behind it), I think this is a great release. JSON Duality Views [1] are a phenomenal feature to bridge the gap between relational and document data without having any downsides. In the same fashion, Property Graphs [2] allow traversing relational data in graph fashion.

  With these and the new vector features, their multimodel approach is paying off, in my opinion. Their JSON storage format (OSON [3]) is also very fast and efficient.
