And Planetscale (who is the current primary maintainer of vitess) is developing a Vitess for PostgreSQL.

There will be a couple of production-grade PG vitess solutions the next months.

Looked it up, says 'Will be released as an open source project' but announcement was in July 2025 and no public repo yet which is strange, so time will tell if they will stick to this.

Supabase one is open from start:

We are already moving Neki customers into production. Nobody else is even close. PlanetScale doesn't spend our days yapping about what we are going to do. We just do it.
Congrats!

The question was whether your previous statement about it being open source was still the case, or is it now going to be propriety?

More details on this are coming soon.
Thanks.

Appreciate your company has spent a lot of money on the project.

Famous last words.

There will be 0 production grade solutions in the next months, I guarantee it
