Did you consider looking to see what they actually already do? There's a reason this works.

It’s not useful if it’s never read by agents - that’s the premise of the statement.

I'm not talking about RedHat, I'm talking about the perspective that "FSL / BUSL aren't effective enough". They solve the problem. O'saasy is just freeware at the end of the day, F…

The issue is these are mostly academic points of view. Sentry’s model on the FSL (and previously the BUSL) has shown to be working just fine at scale. Whereas, for example, tradema…

Clearly this is bait but we have done nothing but be supportive of small accounts. It’s still $29, we still are extremely generous on forgiveness and sponsorships, and we still pri…

Just want to say, absolutely this. Its an awfully confusing way to say: "if you make money, compile your own binaries or pay us". Have a feeling the confusion and FUD it causes wil…

No, its complicated and scales to servicing every customer in the world. Thats not the same thing. Doesnt mean the complaints about self-hosted arent valid, but "literally has to s…

If you - or anyone reading this - ever ends up in a situation where we came off as aggressive send me a direct email and I will take care of it. This is not something we believe in…

fwiw I was always pretty transparent about our priorities: https://blog.sentry.io/building-an-open-source-service/ We enable self-hosting because not everyone can use a cloud servi…

Any chance you can link me to the ticket? Feel free to email - david at sentry

Define large workload. Sentry runs large workloads and Postgres isn't a bottleneck. We have also never employed a DBA. Most users never need to shard their database, and at most ca…

I wanted to learn more about RAG implementations, so I built something to solve the constant digging through manuals whenever we play a game. It's fairly simplistic, but actually h…

When you offer a subset of the product as open, and a subset as not open, its not open source. Pretty simple math for me. This is not a comment on "which" OSI license they used for…

This is the problem with the definition. If the product is trurly open source, call it that. If its not, thats ok, but don't. Core has no real definition. I definitely would never …

Postgres is not operated by the same people as Neon or Amazon, thats a fundamental difference. I was also not suggesting commercial cannot benefit Open Source (and would in fact qu…

I just wanna remind folks that Open Core is not the same as Open Source. I didn't look at specifics, but I was triggered by this comment: > Some people call our strategy "open-core…

You have nailed their issues - packaging and their revenue model. If you align this well with your target audience the license would have not been a problem for them. Wrote about t…

No ones saying Fair Source is better than Open Source, but in your analogy one protects the commercialization of a project, and the other does nothing to protect the creators. The …

FSL is strict on two years. We certainly would not promote a version that’s variable. You could make one, but it’s our job as a community to say “no!”

This isn't how Sentry works though. 1. You have a burst of errors - typically this happens first month when people dont understand their volume, or they had a runaway bug. 2. We ra…

What's the concern here? The pricing is transparent, and yes we've adjusted it over the years to be more in line with our costs. We still charge you per error just like we have sin…

I have written quite a lot on my personal blog about our decisions and been very transparent. In particular, the decision on switching to BUSL orgininally I talk about here: https:…

> FWIW, if Sentry had stayed GPL or even moved to AGPL, I think they would have stopped much of their newer competition from even coming to market (I'm thinking of signoz, glitchti…

For the interested, might have finished a POC thats unfortunately not totally generic, but achieves what I'm after: https://github.com/dcramer/peated/pull/171 Requires some duct ta…
