How the DataStax Acquisition of Aurelius Will Effect TinkerPop

Hello everyone,

As you may already know, Aurelius has been acquired by DataStax -- http://thinkaurelius.com/2015/02/03/aurelius-acquired-by-datastax/. Aurelius is the graph computing company behind Titan which also provides a good number of contributors to TinkerPop. DataStax is the distributed database company behind Cassandra. Matthias and I are very excited about this acquisition. With DataStax's resources, the graph community is going to see a powerful, rock-solid, Titan-inspired distributed graph database in the near future -- enterprise support, focused large-team development, and 1000+ node cluster testing for each release. A great thing for the graph community, indeed. Also, a great thing for TinkerPop ---

Note that 5 (of the 25) contributors to TinkerPop work for Aurelius. How will this acquisition effect the TinkerPop community?

  1.) Along with DSE Graph product development, our role at DataStax will be to continue to grow TinkerPop.
  2.) DataStax's DSE Graph product will leverage TinkerPop for its OLTP and OLAP capabilities.

I remember when Aurelius announced Titan a couple years back. There was a lot of "oh no, money corrupts"-sentiments in the TinkerPop community. I hope you see that over these years I've done my best to stay neutral, promoting graph computing in general and not any vendor in particular.* Moreover, with TinkerPop now part of the Apache Software Foundation, TinkerPop will continue to be an open graph standard for everyone. Finally, I will continue to collaborate with Neo4j, OrientDB, Sparksee, Giraph, InfiniteGraph, FoundationDB, Stardog, Sqlg, ArangoDB, Bitsy, and any other vendor that comes down the road wishing to partake in that which is, and always will be, The TinkerPop.

I hope you find this news positive. Please feel free to share your thoughts.

Thank you for reading,
Marko.

* Primarily because the only graph system I truly love is TinkerGraph. :)
