It saved us continuing our evaluation of it when our sales contact told us. Our company has a strict nope on basic infra licenses; closed is not an option. We need to be able to switch (and test everything all the time on the open version if we use binaries). We have been building software for over 35 years now and we have been bitten too many times.

It’s always kind of a relief when I can completely remove something from my long list of things to check out. Life’s too short to bother with proprietary platforms. A closed source database? Hah, no.

> ScyllaDB OSS AGPL 6.2 will stand as the final OSS AGPL release... A free tier of the full-featured ScyllaDB Enterprise will be available.
I wonder if this means YDB (from the devs of Clickhouse) will get some traction (https://ydb.tech/) or if there are other massive scale scylladb-types of DB's out there.

Seems that ScyllaDB takes advantage of
https://seastar.io that shards across cores. It seems to still be open source (for the moment, at least). Wonder if other projects could benefit from its ideas.

That is a shame. Scylladb seemed like a useful database.

They intentionally waited til after the AWS reInvent conference to announce this.

[from the FAQs]
Where can I find the source code?
The source code will be available at https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb. Commit notes and comments will also be available in the same repo.

This is happening because no one appreciates the freedom of open source enough to pay for it, the larger projects have a company behind them and need revenue to stay afloat.
