I read this as "buying potential competitors off the market" right?

Less ability for customers to roll-their-own => more customers for Snowflake?



With neon being bought by databricks, serverless Postgres tech has effectively disappeared from the market.


What do you mean by this? Neon is still operating the same service.

Source: I work there.


Oh my bad! I was under the (evidently mistaken) impression that since they were bought by databricks they would just become a part of that and cease to be.

Evidently, I was very wrong, which I’m glad to hear tbh.


is it open source? (this? https://github.com/neondatabase/neon.git ) and since it's serverless, in terms of being on the internet what are you saying has disappeared, a proprietary version? support/consulting contracts?


There is also this one from Supabase: https://www.orioledb.com/


Prisma Postgres is a nice choice if you're looking for serverless postgres.
