#2This is an announcement from 2017 about "the next five years", which time period is now squarely in the past.
Did the DBMS ever come into existence? (If so: link, please). If not: Why should we be interested in this announcement in 2023?

This is Andy Pavlo, so he probably got sidetracked with https://ottertune.com/
Not sure what op's intention with this was

Actually, it was a combination of three things:
1. OtterTune Start-up (https://ottertune.com)
2. Biological Daughter (https://twitter.com/andy_pavlo/status/1187841279260004355)
3. Pandemic
When the pandemic first started, I had a bunch of CMU students reach out to me saying that their summer internships were rescinded and that they were looking for a project to work on so that they wouldn't have a gap in their CV. I ended up taking on any student that could program C++ even if they hadn't taken my DB class before. It as my way of trying to help. But our research group grew to about 35 people. That was not sustainable and the code quality suffered greatly.
We ended killing the project and now all our self-driving work is done in the context of Postgres (https://db.cs.cmu.edu/papers/2023/p27-lim.pdf).
I also now realize that building the DBMS engine first then building the query optimizer second is the wrong order. Our future project is going to start with the optimizer first.

Awesome, thanks for the quick response.

Yikes! Thanks for the heads up. Peter left Stanford so I guess they took over the domain name :-(

Excellent, well done on the quick turnaround.
I hope no one had to have a hard conversation with their boss just now.
