Probably lots of legacy stuff running on Oracle, but is it relevant for new software applications? I used to love Oracle and use it a ton up to 12c. Now all new stuff is on PG or MySQL. TC: 1M+ YOE: 20+ years #oracle
Is blue origin going public?
Oracle isn't going anywhere... except to the cloud
No, I use snowflake ❄️
Oracle needs to evolve or perish. Most modern enterprises are already looking at CockroachDB as it provides everything that Oracle provide and is also distributed . Oracle attempted to do sharding , but they still don’t have a distributed DB. It will become less and less relevant. They will exist because of the huge Government contracts.
US Federal government still exists, doesn’t it?
Can you share how is the environment in datadog? Is the company prepared for oncoming economic downturn and safe from layoffs?
Its great. Yes, seems like. We’re still hiring at sustainable levels like we always have done.
Define new. Many new companies still hire db architects that are skilled in Oracle dbs, and end up putting some of their workloads there. But slowly and steadily, more and more workloads are shunning Oracle completely. Enterprise software stacks are very slow to change, so they aren’t going anywhere soon.
Focus on migration from Oracle to the cloud. You’ll make millions.
Oracle database has 2 options to be relevant in the future: 1. Become free and open source software, adopt a community edition/enterprise edition model and make money off of contracts and support 2. Become a cloud-only database service offered on OCI (probably would limit money opportunities here) Either way, OCI must become the primary cash cow for Oracle at this point. Oracle DB's ability to generate a lot of money has a limited time left on Earth, artificially shortened further by its proprietary closed-source nature.
1M+ geez, are you Richard?
Probably Larry Ellison himself trying to gauge what to charge his existing customers/hostages based on whether or not the word is out for startups
Yes
