Hi Rick, I've been following Memsql for a few years now, are there any plans to release "community" edition? Last time I checked about 1.5 years ago json support was very basic and EE pricing (dont remember exact #s) was rather high. Thanks

discuss

There already was a community edition[0]. And it was replaced by a "developer" edition that can no longer be used in production. It seems it didn't pan out as a marketing strategy and I don't think it's coming back.

What are you looking for in a "community" edition?

EE features without support. I hate to bring up Mongo as example, but something similar...where support, additional software/plugins and cloud hosting are where the $ is made.

I did thorough testing of Memsql two years ago but went with Aurora instead. Would love to see how the product evolved since (Spark and Streaming integration was just being rolled out at the time), but something tells me pricing will be a deal breaker.

Something that you can use on production based on what your db advertises as it's advantages (high availability + sharding).
