One thing I would like to see is the commitment to keep it free till X years at least. OK, MemSQL has "decided" to give it for free up to 128GB of RAM usage now. But they can "decide" 2 years later that they want to charge for any MemSQL usage. Then what options the "small" businesses, who have adopted MemSQL, have?

When it comes to commercial products, it is generally good to check if you can afford their paid offering, then only make the tool core part of your infrastructure. For databases, it's better to stick with fully open source popular options from a long-term perspective.
