Oracle database has had a MongoDB compatible API for a few years now.

And it only costs 75k a seat per year per developer, with free bi yearly license compliance audits, a million in ops and hardware to get near prod and all the docu is paywalled. What a deal!

A client had a DB hosted by Oracle. The client was doing most of their compute on AWS, and wanted to have a synchronised copy made available to them on AWS. Oracle quoted them a cool $600k/year to operate that copy, with a 3 year contract.

DMS + Postgres did it for $5k/year.

Client of mine wanted to shift a rac cluster from some aging sparc gear into a VMware or openstack or whatever farm they had on premise; oracle demanded they pay CPU licenses for every single CPU in the cluster as each one could “potentially” run the oracle database, quoted them seven figures.

They rewrote the app instead.
