Danish Hussain... Welcome to the Apache Cloudberry Community! As you join the Apache Cloudberry community, it’s important to understand the distinction between projects and products within the context of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). Here's an overview to help guide your involvement and set expectations: What is Apache Cloudberry? Apache Cloudberry is a project of the ASF. As with all ASF projects: The focus is on producing open-source software, including source code releases. The project may or may not provide deployable binaries (also called binary convenience artifacts). Any binaries provided are offered without any warranty, which may not meet the needs of customers requiring commercial-grade support. Global Nature of Apache Cloudberry Neutral of Location: Neither the source code nor binaries are tied to any specific country. They are developed collaboratively by a global community under the ASF, which is a U.S.-based non-profit corporation. No Corporate or Government Influence: The ASF is committed to ensuring its projects remain free of undue influence from corporations or governments. The ASF takes action to address any suspected misconduct. Products and Commercial Support While Apache Cloudberry is an ASF project, companies worldwide may build commercial products based on the project. These products are: Independently named and distinct from "Apache Cloudberry." Supported by their respective companies, with added features, warranties, or services tailored to customer needs. For global support and services related to Cloudberry-based products, U.S.-based companies like SynxData.com and Enfuse.IO offer robust solutions. These companies provide: Professional support for enterprises. Tailored solutions with enhanced features or proprietary components. Global reach, ensuring businesses worldwide can leverage their expertise. Additionally, some code in Cloudberry originated from well-established U.S.-based contributors, such as PostgreSQL, Greenplum, and Pivotal, adding to the robust foundation for further commercial development. Licensing and Support in ASF Apache License: Apache Cloudberry is distributed under the Apache License, which explicitly disclaims any warranties or guarantees of support. Community Support: Volunteers in the ASF community may assist through mailing lists or forums. However, support is entirely voluntary and not guaranteed. Important Considerations Enterprises requiring reliable support and indemnification are encouraged to partner with commercial providers, such as SynxData.com and Enfuse.IO. Some companies may include proprietary features in their Cloudberry-based products. For details on these offerings, consult the specific company. In Summary Use Apache Cloudberry at your own risk when relying solely on ASF releases. Engage with commercial providers for professional-grade support and services tailored to your enterprise needs. We’re excited to have you join the Apache Cloudberry community. Your contributions and collaboration will help drive innovation in this open-source ecosystem. Welcome aboard!
