Ubicloud’s Quest: Creating an Open-Source Rivalry to AWS
Co-founders Ozgun Erdogan and Umur Cubukcu previously built Citus Data, where they also met Daniel Farina, who previously was instrumental in building Heroku PostgreSQL.
Citus Data wouldn’t have been possible without,” Cubukcu said.
“Fifteen years ago, all those service [that are on the Ubicloud roadmap] did not have open-source data plane components.
These days, for the core services, all of those now have good open-source alternatives, barring maybe one or two,” he said.
The company currently has 10 employees, split between San Francisco, Amsterdam (where the Citus Data team built a small engineering team during the team’s Microsoft days) and Istanbul.
