Teradata: Yep our revenues still in the cooler... but look how many delicious subs we've sold

Wait, what? HDP and Cloudera are dead. Snowflake and Databricks won't have enough room in their bellies to eat them all...

Hortonworks still burning cash, still aiming to become billion-dollar biz

Good comment and info. I have worked on all 3 dists and working on Ambari is like working on a UI from the Soviet era. So bad. I really do like the free to a certain point and pay for more "stuff" like nodes, features,etc.. As small companies grow, they can afford to start buying these features. I keep thinking about IBM buying them but what would they get? Code is open source. Customer contracts? I guess that is worth some $$ but as you said, most of the folks are starting to vest and will bailout at the end of this year and if they want to cut cost, I guess they will just pay less or do more with less...?

They go out and hire expensive sales folks and offer 100% paid benefits and wonder why their expenses are so high. It's about time to switch to a free and paid enterprise edition in order to survive guys. People realized they don't have a petabyte of data so HDP is trying to sell anything they can including replacing mysql. ha
