I've been seriously considering neon for a new application. This definitely gives me pause... maybe plain ol' Postgres is going to be the winner for me again.

Lucky you, you still can as it's Apache 2 https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/blob/release-8516/LICEN...

I haven't studied the CLA situation in order to know if a rug pull is on the table but Tofu and Valkey have shown that where there's a will there's a way

It's open source like a code dump. There's no support for open source IIRC.

The whole point of a serverless platform is that it's hosted infrastructure. Open source doesn't mean it's feasible to run it yourself.

Why would this give you pause? You just don't want the data to be where Databricks is?

Either way, there are plenty of other serverless Postgres options out there, Supabase being one of the most popular.

Can’t speak for anyone but myself and my experience anecdotally, having used Databricks: I consider them to be the Oracle of the modern era. Under no circumstances would I let them get their hooks into any company I have the power from preventing it.

Supabase, while a great product, does not offer serverless Postgress.

After a funding round the value extraction from customers is just over the horizon
