Open Standards, Licensing, and Open Source – Lessons for the Document Database Community from Microsoft’s Move to Open Source

Meetup Description

Twelve years ago growing voices inside of Microsoft pushed for the company to participate more significantly in open source software before 30 years of fighting again open source.
Obstacles were significant:

The company worried about liability triggered by downstream users.
The community worried about the potentially heavy-handed approach of a company as large as Microsoft.

But an honest commitment to collaboration, and some initial building blocks around open standards ultimately led to Microsoft being the more full-fledged participant it is today. There’s a lot the Document Database community can learn from this experience.

The main Microsoft thing Mark’ll be talking about is an open source endeavor they engaged in while I was there: the OuterCurve Foundation.

Agenda

History lesson part 1 – how IBM and Microsoft won the PC wars with open standards
History lesson part 2 – how Microsoft rediscovered its open roots and embraced open source
The Document Database Community – the perils of departing from the open source path
Apache Cassandra and Document Databases – leveraging open source and open standards to innovate
Stargate’s JSON API for Cassandra – an example of open source document database innovation

As FerretDB approaches its pivotal 2-year anniversary, it’s time to light the logs and gather around a virtual fireside chat with the minds behind it – Alexey Palazhchenko (Co-founder & CTO) and Peter Farkas (Co-founder & CEO). They will discuss the current situation of database software that serves as an alternative to MongoDB, its future, and the challenges it faces.
What Will We Cover?

The inevitable challenges and roadblocks encountered while creating this revolutionary Open Source MongoDB alternative.
Their ambitious and forward-thinking vision for the landscape of document databases in the coming years.
The inspiration and driving factors behind the birth of FerretDB.

About FerretDB:FerretDB is a truly open source alternative to MongoDB, built on Postgres, and released under Apache 2.0. FerretDB turns Postgres into a MongoDB-compatible database. Run MongoDB workloads (JS frameworks, tools, drivers) on Postgres, just like if you would run them on MongoDB. Besides Postgres, FerretDB also supports SQLite as a database backend.

Background

MongoDB originally used the GNU AGPLv3 for its open-source version. However, in October 2018, MongoDB introduced its own license, the Server Side Public License (SSPL). This change sparked significant discussion within the open-source community. It underscored the challenges that open-source companies face in the cloud computing era, where large providers can utilize and monetize open-source software without necessarily giving back. The licensing change aimed to restore balance, but it also initiated debates regarding the definition and future of open-source software.

Event Description

Five years after this pivotal decision, we aim to retrospectively assess its impact on the database landscape.
The “SSPL vs. Open Source” panel is a casual conversation, helping attendees understand the nuanced differences between the Server Side Public License (SSPL) and Open Source Software (OSS), thereby guiding their decision-making processes in software development and deployment. The conversation will touch on various aspects such as their underlying principles, benefits, criticisms, and potential implications for the future of the community.
We have invited well-known experts from both camps who will provide insights into the potential impact on developers, businesses, and the wider ecosystem. Peter Farkas as a moderator will be asking provocative questions. It will be intriguing to see which argument proves more compelling.
Join this battle to gain a deeper understanding of the ongoing debate between SSPL and Open Source.

MongoDB’s claim to fame is its exceptional ability to handle unstructured data and scale horizontally. PostgreSQL is a traditional relational database, very popular with application developers, and comes with increasing native ability to handle unstructured data.

Umair Shahid, a seasoned expert in PostgreSQL and Founder at Stormatics with over two decades of experience, and Semab Tariq, a skilled database developer at Stormatics, did a great job benchmarking and comparing performance in handling JSON data between the two databases.

Their comprehensive analysis provided a foundation for understanding the complexities of JSON data performance across MongoDB and PostgreSQL. The tests focused on four main aspects:

^Data ingestion rates for bulk loading

^Single inserts

^Disk space utilization

^Select query performance

For developers and database administrators, the nuanced performance differences revealed by the benchmarks emphasize the need to look beyond traditional assumptions about relational and non-relational databases, focusing instead on empirical evidence and practical performance considerations.

Showing the data from a document-oriented database is easy, isn’t it? We all love working with document-oriented databases.

Actually, nothing if you want to look at only one or two documents. However, it can be tricky when you want to review tens or hundreds of documents simultaneously. At this moment, you may start thinking about how to view them more conveniently.

Modern reality drives the question of visualization documents even to more complicated areas:

What if you need to analyze a set of unstructured documents?
What if your database is not purely document-oriented but also has some relations?
What if your documents have other documents or even collections of documents inside?
