Rockset is off boarding existing customers. Definitely sucks we spent the last 3 months adopting it. We used it to replicate dynamodb in near real time for adhoc & reporting queries. Schemaless architecture was very easy to work with

Yikes! 30 Sep cut off? That's not a lot of lead time, given the amount of work database systems require to data model, benchmark and migrate. My apologies if this seems inappropriate but given the urgency, my employer, StarTree, has a free tier if anyone needs to try out alternate solutions.

I understand Rockset-to-StarTree (Apache Pinot) is not a 1:1 drop-in replacement. But hopefully it's a port in a storm.

Whether you end up on StarTree or another suitable alternate, I hope everyone has as painless a migration as possible. Reminds me a bit of how FoundationDB customers found themselves without a home when Apple acquired them back in 2015[0].

Hi PeterCorless! (We're friends IRL - it's Greg)

While we're putting in plugs for open source alternatives, I'll recommend looking at StarRocks. https://www.starrocks.io/

I share Peter's sentiment for wishing everyone an easy transition, whatever you choose.

Seconding the StarRocks project, best performance out there and the community is great. Tons of support.

Just adding to what Greg mentioned: if you want to learn more about StarRocks or have any questions, feel free to reach out to us in the StarRocks community on Slack: https://try.starrocks.com/join-starrocks-on-slack.

Thank you, Peter. This timeline is brutal due to how deeply we integrated Rockset into multiple applications. This definitely obliterates any plans I had for Q3 or my summer.

I'm worried more platforms like StarTree, SingleStore, etc will follow suit in the next 24 months.

Any thoughts or assurances on this? Thank you for your post.
