Build a Great Business on Open Source without Selling Your Soul

A profitable business is one of the best protections for commercial open-source projects and communities that depend on them.
Our talk draws on the experience of companies that pulled it off to explain how to do it for your own projects. We’ll discuss commercial models that actually work, giving back to the community, and gracefully collecting money for free software. We'll also discuss topics for larger projects like foundations and taking VC funding.
It is possible to balance a strong belief in open-source communities with making payroll every two weeks. We've done it and will share our secrets.

SCaLE X 2025 – Boosting MySQL with Vector Search: Introducing the MyVector Plugin

As the demand for vector databases and Generative AI continues to rise, integrating vector storage and search capabilities into traditional databases has become increasingly important. This session introduces the *MyVector Plugin*, a project that brings native vector storage and similarity search to MySQL. Unlike PostgreSQL, which offers interfaces for adding new data types and index methods, MySQL lacks such extensibility. However, by utilizing MySQL's server component plugin and UDF, the *MyVector Plugin* successfully adds a fully functional vector search feature within the existing MySQL + InnoDB infrastructure, eliminating the need for a separate vector database. The session explains the technical aspects of integrating vector support into MySQL, the challenges posed by its architecture, and real-world use cases that showcase the advantages of combining vector search with MySQL's robust features. Attendees will leave with practical insights on how to add vector search capabilities to their MySQL systems.

FOSSASIA SUMMIT 2025 – Unified Observability: Leveraging ClickHouse as a Comprehensive Telemetry Database

As modern infrastructures become more complex, traditional monitoring tools often struggle to provide a complete understanding of system health. This presentation will explore how ClickHouse, a high-performance columnar database, enables unified observability by consolidating metrics, logs, traces, and eBPF data into a scalable platform.
Attendees will learn how fragmented telemetry systems can hinder root-cause analysis and operational efficiency and how ClickHouse overcomes these challenges by offering seamless integration with tools like OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Prometheus, and more. We will also compare observability solutions, such as Coroot, qryn, and custom stacks with Jaeger and Loki, to demonstrate how ClickHouse simplifies data management, enhances real-time analysis, and supports large-scale telemetry use cases.
This session will provide practical insights into implementing ClickHouse for observability, enabling engineers to focus on system insights while minimizing infrastructure complexity.

ClickHouse® Disaster Recovery: Tips and Tricks to Avoid Trouble in Paradise

ClickHouse usually works like a charm, but what if a real disaster strikes?
This webinar introduces popular ways to protect your ClickHouse cluster and maybe your job, too.
Our talk starts with the main patterns for setting up ClickHouse disaster recovery and shows available techniques like cross-region replication, backups, and parallel clusters. We'll cover a fully worked example of DR and also discuss obvious and non-obvious trade-offs.
Every site is a little different--this webinar will provide you the tools to implement a DR strategy that works for you.

SREDAY 2025 LONDON: Scaling Analytics with ClickHouse® in Cloud-Native Environments

Learn strategies to optimize ClickHouse for massive data streams. Explore Kubernetes orchestration, query optimization, and real-world solutions for scalable, cost-efficient, and reliable analytics in modern systems.
ClickHouse is a high-performance columnar database designed for analytical workloads, but running it efficiently in cloud-native environments presents unique challenges. This talk explores the architecture of ClickHouse and provides strategies for scaling it to handle massive data streams in containerized and distributed systems. We’ll cover topics like volume provisioning, efficient data ingestion pipelines, query optimization, and orchestration with Kubernetes. Real-world examples will demonstrate how to tackle common bottlenecks, improve performance, and reduce costs while maintaining reliability in cloud-native setups. Attendees will leave with actionable insights to build robust, scalable storage and analytics solutions with ClickHouse in modern environments.
