The problem goes as well - there is a fair amount of users who are happy to pay for OSS software, yet a lot of VC funded companies in the chase of growth invest much more than Open Source ecosystem is willing to fund... the usual result is change of license

Hehe. "All Benchmarks" he says...

Is it like free does of heroin so you get addicted and later pay dearly ? :)

In the fair world freesql.com would have hosted PostgreSQL

Note, if you're looking for MongoDB Enterprise features you can find many of them with Percona Server for MongoDB, which you can use for free the same way as MongoDB Community

I see the license is AGPLv3 while current MongoDB versions as SSPL - does it means you took the MongoDB Parser circa 2018 as a base ?

There is no one size fits all. On the small scale "managed" cloud which takes care of as many things as possible is effective. As you scale though it will cost proportional to environment size, except some discount. With solutions like Hetzner you get a lot more of hardware for the price but have to invest more labor into managing it, with automation however this labor does not grow nearly as much as your environment size.

Should not we look for database to be able to do online, efficient non locking addition of column with any default value, not just NULL rather than application to have a complicated and fragile logic ?

Is there GitHub link or something ? Right now as I follow the link all it wants is for me to "login" before showing anything at all

Love hearing Open Source and SelfHosted but I do not clearly see link to the Github or other place where source code is. There is no link to the code in the launch message either.

One one side creators are welcome to choose whom to offer their software, on the other I wonder how it will stand in regard to "anti discrimination" in various countries.

In any case, just please do not call this Open Source :)

What differences from original mission do you see ?

This looks awesome!

What can be challenge with such solutions is getting the last 1% right when it comes to sharding tricky queries properly (or at least detecting queries which are not handled properly) and also isolation and consistency

Yep. This "little addition" to the license will likely make it non Open Source according to standard definition. It reminds me "Commons Clause" which Redis tried to add to its license years ago... and later pulled back.

I understand OpenWebUI team pain and perhaps not everything they do, they should do as Open Source

In my opinion you should think about Open Source as fundamental science - if you discover Gravity, people are going to use it and often not giving you any credit.

I think comparing it to Vector Database is confusing as database would typically mean indexes and some sort of query support.

Storing Embeddings with File is interesting concept... we already do it for some file formats (ie EXIF), where this one is generalized... yet you would need to have some actual database to load this data into to process at scale.

Another issue I see is support for different models and embedding formats to make this data really portable - like I can take my file drop it into any system and its embedding "seamlessly" integrates
