What happens when you put strong opinions, open-source politics, and database ecosystems on the same stage?
In this lively and at times sharply debated session, Peter Zaitsev dives into the evolving landscape of relational databases — from the rise of PostgreSQL to the shifting position of MySQL and the growing opportunity for MariaDB.
Key themes explored:
Why PostgreSQL has gained massive momentum over the past decade
What’s happening inside the MySQL ecosystem under Oracle Corporation
Where MariaDB stands today — and where it could go next
Open-source governance: foundations, ownership, and control
GPL vs permissive licensing — and how it shapes ecosystems
The role of vendors vs community in driving adoption
Why events, marketing, and developer experience matter as much as code
The growing importance of ecosystem layers: extensions, tools, integrations
The discussion also touches on:
Cloud forks and fragmentation
The power (and chaos) of decentralized communities
Lessons MariaDB should and should not take from PostgreSQL
The business realities behind open source
And somewhere along the way, a simple idea emerges:
Technology alone doesn’t win. Ecosystems do.
