The hyper-clouds are open source's friends

Friends? More like feudal lords picking and choosing which projects they can benefit from supporting.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

While I was at Open Source Summit North America in Seattle, I was reminded of this when, in a keynote, Sirish Chandrasekaran, GM of Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS), said: "For the PostgreSQL core server, AWS employs one core team member, six committers, and seven major contributors."

Marc Linster, EDB's Chief Technology Officer, analyzed who did what with PostgreSQL 16 in great detail.

As someone who's worked in open source for many years and from a holistic standpoint, having someone to make sure that things are being reviewed for correctness is really, really compelling.

The performance improvements just by adopting Rust for specific workloads that are in that sweet spot are incredibly compelling."

In particular, Nalley mentioned that the Rustls TLS library uses AWS Libcrypto for Rust (aws-lc-rs) for cryptography by default, with the option to enable Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) support.

Thinking of security and Rust, Nalley added that he was a little frustrated at the first Rust version of that master Linux administrator command sudo "because it had a huge dependency tree initially, and I think that number was north of 50, (actually, it was a mind-boggling 135 dependencies), which means the attack surface is 50 times larger.

The original article contains 835 words, the summary contains 202 words. Saved 76%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

They also support genocide.
