> I don't think that Greenplum's closed source means your product has a chance!
Maybe you're right. The Cloudberry Database is just one alternative and option for the existing Greenplum users if they want to continue using it.
Now Greenplum source code repo is achieved, not closed source. You can still download its source code but it will not upgrade and cannot get the latest code from its GitHub.
In addition to the above mentioned, we developed this application also want to dig much more excellent tech articles, views and open source projects by Chinese developers with community.
In this application, we also use some popular frameworks, such as [Bootstrap](1), [CodeIgniter](2) and so on.
Although, CSDN Geek may have a long way to improve and proceed. Rencently, I have created an [GitHub organization](3) for CSDN Geek. APIs will be open for community in the next step.
Yes. I saw the news from @ruanyf's Weibo message. In my opinion, HN is not only for westerners, also for Chinese and other region users, maybe global in other words. But HN Chinese Clones have much focus on local IT news and articles share.
Last, I'm sorry to give none comment about sW/SaaS business.
I think there is a plan on integration with iceberg, you can take this for reference: https://github.com/apache/cloudberry/discussions/369. We are also discussing the new roadmap, FYI.
