| How does this related to other mongo on postgres projects? It looks like ferretdb was changed to build on documentdb and then abandoned? |

| Not only is it a mongodb interface on postgresql, it's built by Microsoft, and has joined the Linux foundation? Color me surprised. Did they build this for fun or what? |

A few years back MongoDB changed their license to AGPL to make it harder for companies to take their code and offer it as a service. They did this because it competes with the MongoDB Atlas service. | |

They bought Postgres sharding company (https://www.citusdata.com) and apparently it sees a ton of use internally even for newer Greenfield projects. Also, if check recent commits to Postgres, you will find Microsoft employees all over commit history. As I've commented several times before, MSSQL appears to be on life support. It makes them a ton of money and it's supported in same way AS/400 is supported. Sure, Microsoft will take your money but don't expect a lot in return. |
