It's a bit sad that many modern databases were recently acquired. They had the potential to bring a lot of innovations.

(disclaimer: supabase employee)

OrioleDB continues to be a fully open source and liberally licensed. We're working with the OrioleDB team to provide an initial distribution channel so they can focus on the storage engine vs hosting + providing lots of user feedback/bug reports. Our shared goal is to advance OrioleDB until it becomes the go-to storage engine for Postgres, both on Supabase and everywhere else.

Happy to hear any concerns you have

Acquisitions don't necessarily mean the end of innovation. Sometimes, it allows them to take innovations they've worked hard on for years and expand the reach to a significantly larger audience :)

I have met the founders of all 3 of these companies and can assure you they all care tremendously about bringing their work to the world.

ParadeDB is independent and without plans to sell anytime soon, though :)
