The thing with Venice is that it is a datastore. It does not have any business-specific logic. By itself, the only competitive advantage Venice provides is that it is a datastore that has first-class support for ingesting batch data. We feel this is not something that needs to be kept as a closely-guarded secret. We have already discussed the architecture of Venice in conferences and articles.

As per decreasing the cost of development over the next few years, it is actually quite the opposite. In the near term, the cost of development increases as the system not-only needs to work in your organization, but also work externally - with external technologies.

You are right that reducing the cost of development is a goal, but there are many things that need to be done initially to facilitate that and make the project self-sustaining.
