Surprising to see them ditch their cloud product. Especially considering the number of startups out there based around offering a cloud database.

No wonder, if you outsource management of DB to someone else why on earth you'd want to have MySQL/MariaDB ?

Why wouldn't you?

It's widely supported, and tons of software is written on top of it -- requires it.

Yes I thought managed databases were the holy grail of database monetization. How bad were the cloud services that they were providing? They seemed to put quite a lot of effort into that part of their offering too.

There are literally a dozens of SQL database service companies.. yes it's a large market but at a point you're just competing for fumes
