As the founder and CEO - did you not think to stop and look at the market? For example what happened recently with Terraform/OpenTofu, Redis, etc?

You basically took the same route as these companies and while your intent may be different, from the outside it looks like another company making a grab an Open Source software with changing licences and renaming products.

Again, it may not be your intent but you made the first mistake in marketing which is - see how others have done it and what the outcome it.

For me as a Tech Lead/Architect - currently looking at event-based architecture, this is a bit of a turnoff of the entire product stack - because it suggests you might be lining things up to sell off.
