Yes, it's our backing database for Morio [1], an open source observability plumbing tool. We're still building it but we're dogfooding it and run it in production ourselves. Can't recommend it enough [1] https:/&#x

I think there's a bigger issue going on here. I too have received the same email for my open source project (1) which also was on Vercel's sponsorship deal. A little Googling shows others piping up in the last couple of hours who
