How do you plan on monetizing the business ? Are you looking at some kind of consultancy play, ala Redhat / MySQL (pre-Oracle) ?


We want everyone who has a reason to use the product to be able to get it and use it for free (as in beer and speech). As companies grow and operations become more important, we'll be there to provide paid support. It's actually a great business model because you don't have to hire a really expensive enterprise sales team (you still need a sales team, but it mostly has to handle inbound requests).

We're also looking into launching services, which is a great revenue stream for people who prefer to pay for convenience of not having to deal with operations at all.
