Okay folks. @GoogleCloudTech is doing something particularly awesome: #AlloyDBOmni is a run-anywhere version of our Cloud AlloyDB database. Lemme say that again. Run...anywhere. No need to be on the Cloud for it! Check it:

Something to know about #AlloyDBOmni, it's a drop-in replacement for #PostgreSQL! It's 2x faster than out-of-the box PG, and up to 100x faster for analytic queries. Instead of grabbing PG, just grab AlloyDB Omni!

@gabeweiss What's the licensing and source code redistribution policy?

Edit: "Available at a fraction of the cost of legacy databases, with a free developer edition"

Ok. Not actually a drop-in replacement.

@resuna Even better: "Check back for full product pricing information"

Even if it were 100x faster than Postgres whilst being a clean drop-in replacement, who is going to rely on it with an unknown price in the future?

@zimpenfish @resuna To be fair, NO one should be "relying" on a preview product for anything. :) It's intended to be played with, explored, maybe do a proof of concept, and then don't rely on it until it's GA. :) I wouldn't expect anyone to adopt it for business until there was licensing and pricing set, of course!

@gabeweiss @zimpenfish Does it support Postgres server plugins, like https://github.com/flightaware/pg-deltaflood ?

@resuna @zimpenfish yes, although installing them in this version if it’s not included (there’s some that are installed already) is a little hacky. Before GA it’ll be better.
