alt Hacker NewsI love how the Planetscale CEO has been shitting on multigres[0], Supabase's equivalent to Neki, and gloating about how superior Neki is, and yet Neki is not even open source!
Sam, it feels like you're just playing games. It's hard to take anything you say or do seriously. Are you going to OSS this thing? Or have you decided to backpedal?
Congrats on the checks notes closed launch, I guess?

How does open source have anything to do with Neki's ability to scale against a service that doesn't even do sharding.

Do they get the same backlash if they went with a source available license similar to MongoDB or Elastic?
Every PlanetScale launch seems to come with a side of beef with the competition. Case in point: https://x.com/samlambert/status/2098069474205470970?s=20
Just launch the product and let it speak for itself. The constant need to take shots at competitors comes across as pretty childish.
