I have to defend Compose.io here. They spent countless hours working alongside the RethinkDB team to debug problems, provide fixes, and improve the product.

We have always considered them key collaborators and contributors to the RethinkDB ecosystem. There is a conversation to be had about the difference in business models between RethinkDB and Compose.io, but I would never describe it as anything but friendly cooperation and mutual support.

I'm glad to hear that they expressed their dedication to preserving RethinkDB's open-source future. We're working to contact all the folks in our community to decide the next steps together. I'm excited to keep working with them.

Thank you for your kind words on our behalf. Hopefully the product we created together with the community will have a bright future.

Good to hear that they've contributed and that you're cool with it. It's inspiring to see that you're still putting your users first in spite of everything.
