The Register reports that Oracle has laid off 70 employees involved in the MySQL database project, including several experienced developers. Michael "Monty" Widenius, co-founder of the MySQL database and creator of the MariaDB project, stated that it pains him to hear about mass layoffs in MySQL, and although he is not surprised by Oracle's actions, he is still saddened that it has come to this. Peter Zaitsev, co-founder of Percona and former head of the performance optimization group at MySQL AB, expressed concern that this move could lead to the gradual shutdown of the MySQL Community edition.
