Building on Strengths, Learning from Differences
summary
Argument that open source databases must evolve into systems that natively shard and scale to tens of terabytes and beyond to petabytes, run efficiently on SSD/PCIe storage and in cloud environments, and support cluster-wide backup/restore, node add/remove, and non-blocking schema changes instead of pushing that complexity into application code. Notes MySQL 5.5 quality and InnoDB robustness, praises long‑term investments in Drizzle and PostgreSQL, and warns that proprietary players like Clustrix are solving these gaps.
