I have a feeling this is IBM dipping their toes into the water of Postgres after seeing Databricks acquire Neon and Snowflake acquire CrunchyData. Won't be surprised if IBM acquires them next year. It makes a lot of sense and I wish everyone the best of luck.

From the outset, CockroachDB has a "just scale it up" product, an open-source presence, a serverless product with pricing similar to DSQL from AWS, and enterprise support. There is a lot to work with there if you're IBM.
