Although it doesn’t meet the definition of bribery it’s a similar concept. It’s trying to influence someone’s decision by personal gain rather than just what’s best for the company. DataDog used to do this (maybe they still do) where if you signed up for a trial they said you would get a 1 in 8 chance of getting an iPhone.

for like the last 8 years they have promised a shirt if you send your first log. i think its ok if its low value ( $200) then it seems desperate. that said, this is basically paying for some real time with serious customers. not the worst idea, just doesnt scale but who cares
I believe the technical term for this when money changes hand is "kickback payment". This may be illegal and/or against organization policies, but difficult to monitor without self-reporting

#45I like how easy postgresql vector is to use, but scaling up seems to get pretty expensive when comapred to something like qdrant.
Nothing fundamentally stops a postgres implementation being equally performant as something like Qdrant. Fundamentally, an index’s performance is based on the hardware and the algorithm and the quality of implementation. Any optimizations Qdrant can make, we can also make. We will be benchmarking ourselves against all of the other standalone database options as well and we’ll be working to try and outperform them. Ex…
