DataStax, MongoDB, Redis and More Join GCP

Distributed databases galore come to Google Cloud Console

By CBR Staff Writer

“We’ve always seen our friends in the open-source community as equal collaborators, and not simply a resource to be mined” said Google Cloud’s Chris DiBona, Director, Open Source on Tuesday.

With that shot across the bows at AWS – which has frustrated many open source-based  companies by rolling out managed services built on their code bases, without contributing to the code’s upstream – the company announced seven key new partnerships this week.

Confluent, DataStax, Elastic, InfluxData, MongoDB, Neo4j and Redis Labs are all now available as managed services on Google Cloud Platform (GCP); many agreeing to partner closely on joint go-to-market efforts, including sales incentives, along with simplified joint billing.

MongoDB’s VP, Developer Advocacy, Seong Park, told Computer Business Review: “It’s great to be a first class citizen on GCP Console. Google see the value of strengthening and deepening partnerships with best of breed technologies – it’s great to work with them from a partnership perspective.”

He added: “GCP are at the forefront of how they are looking to leverage their offering to power AI; the work they’re doing with TensorFlow, Kubernetes. There are a lot of strategic opportunities for us in terms of how we take advantage of that.”
