For context, I'm CTO at Xata where we offer a Postgres service that differentiates via other ways (very fast CoW branching, scale-to-zero, anonymization, etc). We often recommend people keeping production where it is (RDS, Cloud SQL, on-prem, etc.) and use Xata only for staging + branching.

We can't offer Timescale because of the license (except for the version without compression), which blocks some potential customers from using us.

So there is currently no monetization plan beyond reducing this blocker for us. An explicit goal of DeltaX is to be pure OSS, offered on Xata, and also hopefully on all other Postgres providers. Without making any hard promises for the long-term future, I will say I care deeply about it being something that reduces lock-in in the Postgres ecosystem, rather than increasing it.
