If we are going to include copycats, let’s (in all seriousness) at least be fun about it and put them under the heading “Copycats”
We should also include a disclaimer that they may not be feature compatible. Since due diligence on this is hard even for subject matter experts, it would be nicer still if we put a bit of detail explaining some of the differences before putting them on the website, but I doubt anyone has the time for that (so I still slightly prefer we don’t include them). ________________________________ From: Ben Bromhead <b...@instaclustr.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 23, 2021 4:56:34 AM To: Cassandra DEV <dev@cassandra.apache.org> Subject: Re: Additions to Cassandra ecosystem page? There is certainly a lack of clarity in the grouping, as a number of those services are not offering Apache Cassandra. I would suggest another category along the lines of "Cassandra Protocol compatible offerings". That way users can easily distinguish between ecosystem offerings where "the driver works, but certain features might not", vs an actual Apache Cassandra offering. We could then also add things like Yugabyte and Scylla into that category.
