Episode 30: Building the Business Behind Open Source AI @ AWS San Francisco [Live]
A live panel recorded at AWS San Francisco bringing together open-source AI founders and builders from Zep AI, DataRobot, Command Prompt, Scalar Labs, StreamNative, and Omnistrate. The group moves past technical specs to share strategic and personal reflections on how open source AI teams deploy, scale, and monetize.
Episode 28: Commercializing Open Source: Why Most Founders Get It Wrong
Recorded at the AWS re:Invent SaaS Summit, four open-source veterans from Percona, Couchbase, and Omnistrate break down what actually works when commercializing open source — and the expensive mistakes founders make. The panel covers open core vs. foundation models, avoiding MongoDB-style license backlash, and partnering with hyperscalers without getting 'Amazon'd'.
Episode 25: Ep 20: Future of Cloud-Native Data Services with AI and Agents
Sergey Pronin, founder of Solanica and former Percona engineer, joins the panel to discuss why the SaaS-only data model is fracturing. The conversation covers 'Dark Matter Data' trapped inside enterprises, treating databases like cattle on Kubernetes, API-driven self-service provisioning, and why donating Open Everest to the CNCF matters for license-stable infrastructure.
