Greenplum Database is archived on GitHub

Most of the Greenplum Database repos are achieved on GitHub: https://github.com/greenplum-db/.

This is surprising!

Last year, we launched one project named Cloudberry Database. It's one derivative of Greenplum Database, and is compatible with Greenplum Database. Cloudberry Database is shipped with a newer PostgreSQL 14.4 kernel (scheduled kernel upgrade yearly) and a bunch of features Greenplum Database lacks or does not support.

If you're using open source Greenplum Database, welcome to choose the Cloudberry Database as the alternative.

Cloudberry Database GitHub: https://github.com/cloudberrydb/cloudberrydb

Maybe this should be a Show HN: Greenplum archived; Cloudberrydb as Greenplum alternative

Or something shorter without the archived part in the title.

Hi, thanks for your suggestions. I cannot edit the title anymore.

You can post a new when you introduce something new. Don’t think many people know this even if they run Greenplum; we migrated off but used it for many years. We didn’t know others were continuing it.

I don't think that Greenplum's closed source means your product has a chance! In fact, most Greenplum derivatives follow the changes in Greenplum's upstream code. Now that it is closed source, it also means that it is not so easy to refer to Greenplum's code.

Maybe you're right. The Cloudberry Database is just one alternative and option for the existing Greenplum users if they want to continue using it.

Now Greenplum source code repo is achieved, not closed source. You can still download its source code but it will not upgrade and cannot get the latest code from its GitHub.
