I appreciate you carrying the torch for MySQL here, since most opinions are based on setups over a decade old, with little to no bearing on how it runs today

Lago continues to pretend to be OSS, when it's unusable as is. I had so much hope for it, and while I don't begrudge them monetizing, it's a sham. You can't even make a refund with the OSS license.

No, and no clustering / HA yet I believe. It is awesome though with the right use case. We've had it in prod for a few years now

I very much appreciate your deep knowledge of MySQL, and willingness to share amidst the sea of postgres fans. There's a reason both are popular and widely used.

Lago is mocking the very idea of OSS. You can't even issue a refund self hosted.

Anecdata: I'm a white American who grew up in China and it didn't impact me, nor in my experience most of the kids in my international school. Single adults who go back however are more likely to self select based on attraction.

You can't even refund with the OSS version. It's so hamstrung as to be completely unusable for a real business
