Upstream First Building Databases, AI , Communities, and Trust
summary
AWS says it actively contributes fixes and features to MySQL, PostgreSQL and MariaDB (Bloom filters, JSON modules, JDBC/ODBC work, PG plan and BGVector extensions) and runs a Postgres contributor team that holds maintainership roles. Security work includes an internal red team and a joint $12.5M Linux Foundation investment to handle rising vulnerability reports. Customers report results: 2,000 databases moved to Aurora in 3–6 months. DuckDB joins AWS as the company while the DuckDB Foundation stays independent and the project continues open source.
