Report was filed, but display is awaiting the approval of the Board minutes.
Cloudberry is an advanced and mature open-source Massively Parallel
Processing
(MPP) database, derived from the open-source version of Pivotal Greenplum
Database®️ but built on a more modern PostgreSQL 14 kernel, whereas
Greenplum
is based on PostgreSQL 12. This upgrade brings enhanced enterprise
capabilities, making Cloudberry well-suited for data warehousing,
large-scale
analytics, and AI/ML workloads.
Cloudberry has been incubating since 2024-10-11
### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Complete the source code cleanup to ensure ASF compliance.
2. Publish the first Apache release following ASF release processes.
3. Grow the contributor and community to ensure long-term sustainability.
