Stupid Oracle rats...... let's double the cost of Oracle DB with AWS.... LOL
I think this is an important point:
The database a developer elects to use then follows from the options made available by that cloud platform. By making it cost-prohibitive to run Oracle DB on the public clouds that developers actually use – AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud – Oracle has tied its database future to the mast of its sinking cloud ship. Who reaps the benefits of its myopic strategy? Open-source databases.
While I agree that the Oracle DB is overkill for a lot of new projects and that open source alternative are most cost efficient, the author sounds like a MongoDB sales rep ;-)
