Why fix Kubernetes and Systemd?
Why fix Kubernetes and Systemd?
Learn why and how the Aurae Runtime project aims to replace parts of Kubernetes and Systemd.
The duplication of scope is one of the main motivating reasons behind Aurae. I believe that distributed systems should have more ownership of what is running on a node. I am not convinced that systemd is the way forward to accomplish the goal of exposing a multi tenant API to a higher order control plane. This is the first reason why I started Aurae.

Earthly Switches to Open-source
Earthly Switches to Open-source
TLDR We are switching from a source-available license, to an open-source license for Earthly.We started Earthly with the mission of bringing better...
Oftentimes, to be able to deliver on a mission, you also need a way to sustain that mission long-term. For us this meant raising capital from investors and building a sustainable business around it. To protect the interests of the business, we need to create a moat1. Thus, some time ago we decided to use the source-available license Business Source License (BSL), which is like an open-source license, but with one exception: it prevents anyone from creating a competing product and also commercializing it.
There is some analogy to be drawn about the Postgres / CockroachDB case - the syntax (the Postgres SQL dialect) is open-source, which helps foster a flourishing community ecosystem full of various vendors, community tools, integrations, and interoperability. If the syntax weren’t an open standard, Cockroach wouldn’t have had an ecosystem to plug a commercial product into.
Copy-left licenses like GPL and AGPL are somewhat similar to source-available in spirit, even though they are OSI-approved. Copy-left is used as a poison pill for anyone trying to copy and build a competing product by the fact that it forces the competitor to release the code back as open-source. All while the owner of the project can still create closed-source modifications to the project to sneak in unique advantages - the owner is allowed to because they own copyright (assuming a CLA is in place - like there usually is in such cases). For similar reasons, there are several databases that use a copy-left license - it makes it hard for the competition to support differentiating features, while the original author can still have closed-source differentiators.↩︎

0x00D - Open-source Business Models 💸
Problem: Developers easily adopt open-source, but it’s unclear how to monetize an open-sourced solution. Solution: Using an open-source business model and keeping it sustainable while maintaining high developer adoption.
Distribution Model - Building a cohesive product from a set of open-source components.
Letting Go of Your IP: You need to be OK with open-sourcing your product, and all the benefits this gives your potential (and actual) competitors. Unless you know that you will execute and achieve market adaption better than them, this is a genuine concern.
Compliance push: Because of GDPR and the like, some companies are moving from SaaS offerings into their own self-hosted infrastructure, which might increase the market adoption of on-prem open-source offerings.
New contributor incentives: As more and more companies move into the open source monetized zone, I can see that contributors are less likely to contribute freely. I suspect to see new creative approaches to incentivize contributors (swag, payments, remote work, fame?).

Mighty App had an ambitious goal – streaming your browser from the cloud. They built out custom infrastructure to reduce the latency. After 3.5 years in beta, they are essentially starting a new business around generative AI. I have a lot of respect for what they were building, and I think that a product like that will eventually be ubiquitous. But could things have gone differently? I don't know. I've thought about what an MVP looks like in 2022 and cited two other companies with long betas (
