There’s no need for consolidation when Postgres already exists.

Fantastic! I was actually looking for a buggier version of postgres that won't be supported a year. That's exactly what I was looking for.

Sometimes I dream about a highly available multi primary postgresql.

“high availability through Paxos based replication”. I thought Paxos is supposed to be a CP system.

How do you think the next dominant Database platform will start? Is your expectation that innovation requires polish before hitting the (free open source) “marketplace”?
