Apache Cloudberry (Incubating) is an open-source MPP database built on PostgreSQL and optimized for AI and large-scale analytics. This talk shares the open-source journey from Greenplum—initially open, later closed, and ultimately forked into Apache Cloudberry under the Apache Incubator.
We’ll explore Cloudberry’s AI-native capabilities like pgvector, LLM-based semantic search, and in-database ML using PL/Python and PL/R. You’ll also learn how Cloudberry provides scalable query performance, access to external data lakes, and built-in security via Transparent Data Encryption.
Whether you’re building AI pipelines or advocating for open data platforms, this session highlights how Cloudberry blends PostgreSQL reliability with modern, open MPP design—driven by community and transparency.
