I am looking to make a move out of my current role. I would like to keep a strong database focus. What are the other hot database companies out there right now? what is the publics perception of MemSQL ... will it help me in interviewing? I think the ship has sailed on Snowflake. Who else is hot right now? #offer #tech #memsql #database
Why do you say that the ship has sailed on Snowflake? There is still a ton of upside and we need more solid database engineers! My impression of memsql is that it has decent tech but weak vision and leadership, so it has a hard time acquiring and keeping customers. Engineers I know from there are all solid.
I just mean the potential to make money there is less now than they are already going public.
Heard about Amazon Aurora ?
Are there any teams in Apple working on database stuff?
I am in the same boat as you OP. I am also looking for hot but stable as well. May be try databricks as well.

Mango DB, cockroach DB
how is Mongo? I thought they were a bit past their prime. how about Cockroach db? any experience?
Mango is doing pretty well I think. Both of them seem to be hard to get into. I wasn’t able to get any interview when I was a new grad applying to them with a database graduate concentration.
