Running production databases requires specialized expertise, which is why databases are expensive.
Object storage promises to change that. It gives us durable, globally addressable storage that makes radically simpler database architectures possible. What's more, the engineering needed to use object storage optimally is substantially similar across databases. That's why every OpenData database shares:
01
Object native
Infinite storage with high durability and excellent unit economics.
02
Common tooling
One operational model to learn with a common configuration.
03
MIT licensed
Open formats and a permissive license prevent vendor lock-in.
