Thank you @satyanadella. As @citusdata, we are thrilled to join a team who is keenly focused on meeting customers where they are -- and thrilled about the value this openness will bring to customers, developers, and the community. Can't wait!.
Today we are welcoming Citus Data to Microsoft, building on our commitments to make Azure the most comprehensive cloud to run open source and proprietary workloads – at any scale – and to accelerate developer freedom, innovation and openness.

I myself am generally sceptic when *anyone* makes a 100x claim, so we had to reality check ourselves before posting this. You now can get a 100x price-performance gain vs default GitHub runners when using @UbicloudHQ's managed runners for Arm. Best part is, you can check for.
We recently launched hosted Arm runners for #GitHub Actions. These runners bring a 100x price/performance benefit over default runners when building for arm64. Companies like @lanterndb, @PeerDBInc, and @manifoldxyz are already using us. To learn more:.

We are just getting started.
The untold story of cloud hosted services is there is a lot of gross margin that could be passed on to consumers. Umur and Ubicloud are putting this front and center: a 3X reduction in Postgres hosting cost is a REALLY big deal. 🤯.

@mitchellh This is one of the earliest workloads we are powering with Ubicloud, with managed runners that cost 10x less. You’re right on the economics, and we think many cloud services should cost much less.

Always wonderful to hear from happy @UbicloudHQ customers: 2x lower costs, with better performance for #PostgreSQL in the cloud.
@arvidkahl Why you don’t use @UbicloudHQ as Database provider? They are at @Hetzner_Online and actually saved us 50% costs and better speed compared to DO. Maybe worth to check out.

Welcome Guido! #PostgreSQL and #Python go great together, wonderful to have you onboard. @AzureDBPostgres @citusdata.
I decided that retirement was boring and have joined the Developer Division at Microsoft. To do what? Too many options to say! But it’ll make using Python better for sure (and not just on Windows :-). There’s lots of open source here. Watch this space.

couldn't agree more.
@utos @linuxjournal @glynmoody Interesting argument. I think it would be amazingly beneficial to the #OpenSource and tech communities at-large if companies chose to do something like @citusdata is--donating 1% of their equity toward opensource projects (see link).

Always wonderful to see happy @UbicloudHQ customers for our managed Github Actions Runners: .Builds got 10x cheaper and 4x faster for @krzKaczor, with a 1-line diff.
Recently we migrated to @UbicloudHQ for cheap, and fast AF Github Runners. * 10x cheaper.* up to 16 CPUs per machine, 64gb RAM,.* 1-line diff to migrate.* workflows that took cumulatively 1h (~20 minutes in parallel) now execute in ~5 minutes 🔥.

@jarredsumner I'm one of the founders at @ubicloudhq, happy to see several of our customers already chimed in on this thread. Changing the label in your yaml file to Ubicloud will make a difference: 10X lower cost (+ also faster builds, depending on your workload). we're happy to help.
