This is huge!
When people ask me what’s missing in the Postgres market, I used to tell them “open source Snowflake.”
Crunchy’s Postgres extension is by far the most ahead solution in the market.
Huge congrats to Snowflake and the Crunchy team on open sourcing this.
Honestly. Just pay snowflake for the amazing DB and ecosystem it is. And then go build cool stuff unless your value add to customers is infra let them handle all that.
Sounds great until you're locked into Snowflake - so glad iceberg is becoming the standard, anything is great.
The trap you end up in is you have to pay snowflake to access your data, iceberg and other technology help with the walled garden.
Not just snowflake, any pay on use provider.
(Context - have spent 5+ years working with Snowflake, it's great, have built drivers for various languages, etc).
Locked in? I mean they’re your partner. As long as you’re deriving value from them the partnership is still valuable no?
