How Oracle changed the future of MySQL: Dominic Preuss on Inside the Silicon Mind

Shopify, GitHub, and Uber run on MySQL, yet, as Dominic Preuss puts it, the hype, innovation, and investment historically went to PostgreSQL. Inside the Silicon Mind published Firas Sozan's interview with Dominic, co-founder and CEO of VillageSQL, about why that happened, what Oracle is doing to address it, and how VillageSQL plans to bring innovation back to MySQL.

Dominic covers how MySQL went from a Swedish startup to Oracle, why Oracle is now opening MySQL development to the community, including AWS and Google, and why he started a company on MySQL when everyone was running in the direction of PostgreSQL.
