As a side note, and to pg's point, Microsoft did make some very smart Web 2.0 acquisitions from Silicon Valley in the years since --most notably LinkedIn and Github--, and let them…

Thank you Paolo — for what was an excellent post, and also for this helpful update!

There is indeed a large gap in the market between outsourcing all your infrastructure to Hyperscalers vs. hosting it on DIY-bare-metal and/or VPC providers. An open source alternat…

Our naming intent is for a "ubiquitous" cloud, one that can run anywhere -- no affliations! :)

Ubicloud cofounder here, thanks for the question! You can think of Ubicloud as software that takes bare metal servers as its input, and provides VMs and other cloud infrastructure …

Much appreciate the nits! I've made a few minor tweaks right now, we will do a more complete revision later on.

Thank you for your feedback! I've just made several edits to the text for clarity; will also fix UX bugs and do bigger a update in the upcoming weeks.

thank you and that's correct, just updated the docs as well.

Ubicloud is an open source cloud. Think of it as an open alternative to cloud providers, like what Linux is to proprietary operating systems. You can self-host Ubicloud or use our …

Ubicloud cofounder here. Thanks and yes, the magnitude of it was surprising to us, and that for a common use-case. The default runners you get for Github Actions if you are compili…

Happy to hear your suggestions, of course, will ping you through your HN profile

That’s great to hear, thank you! Please feel free to email us if you have questions. For pricing, the first link is for VMs, and the second is for managed database instances, which…

Thank you! Quick notes: - Resizing instances after provisioning is a manual operation for now. We'd use the same backup machinery that exists to automate it; until then you could d…

Congrats Mitchell! Thanks for all your great work, and best of luck for what's ahead.

We also have a talk that one of our core team members gave earlier today at PGConf.EU that goes through some of the inner workings of our managed service. Its video is not posted y…

Right now, we have an early block store (EBS) that is non-replicated, and that we are testing and using internally. Over time, we will expose it as a service as well. But object st…

Thank you, fixed the broken link!

Yes, ack on both. We already do point-in-time-restore your database with 1-minute granularity. And the docs are thin currently; we will add more to them. We're using the same core …

Yes, exactly, our object store is in the works. And thank you, we are hiring. Could you send your CV to imagine at ubicloud dot com?

Ah, I see. The key part above is "to third parties". If you're using ubicloud to provide a managed/hosted service for yourself, or your company, that's wonderful. You could even be…

It means that our source code is open and transparent to all of our users. You can use it for free, modify it, or even re-distribute it - the main restriction is that you are not o…

(author of the post here) Thank you, and yes, we will be in the US in the next few months.

(Part 3/3 - please see two comments below as the starting point) Aside from the different use-cases they address, there is one other, important difference between Citus and Redshif…
