Broadcom has archived the repository with the source codes of the Greenplum DBMS on GitHub, as well as the repositories of utilities and projects related to this DBMS, thereby ceasing the joint development of an open product with the community. There were no comments from the company. It is expected that further development of Greenplum will occur in the form of a closed commercial project VMware Tanzu Greenplum.
Greenplum DBMS is a distributed edition of the open-source PostgreSQL DBMS, optimized for running analytical queries on large data sets (Data Warehouse). For parallel data processing, it utilizes the massively parallel processing (MPP) architecture, enabling storage scalability to petabyte sizes through clustering. serversAn open-source alternative is Cloudberry, a Greenplum fork ported to the PostgreSQL 14 codebase (Greenplum is based on PostgreSQL 12) and offering enhanced functionality while maintaining backward compatibility with Greenplum.
The Greenplum DBMS is actively used in the processes of replacing products that have left the Russian market of companies, and also forms the basis of the analytical DBMS Arenadata DB (ADB) from the Russian company Arenadata. According to the Arenadata company, the winding down of the public development of Greenplum will not have a negative impact on the development of Arenadata DB, since the company was prepared for such a development of events and began supporting its own fork (previously, developers from Arenadata transferred changes to the main joint project and were among its most active participants).
