A database is a structured set of data stored electronically. The concept of a database was known to our ancestors even when there were no computers. However, creating and maintaining such databases was a very tedious job. For instance, in a manual database of 100 pages, searching for all employees whose salaries were less than 10,000 would have been quite difficult.

In today’s world, you cannot escape databases. Right now, millions of databases are working around the world to store and fetch data of every kind, whether it be strategic data, employee records, or web technologies.

In the early days of open source, it was a struggle to get companies to accept the concept and trust its development model. Now, companies have few qualms about using it, but do tend to take open source and those who maintain it for granted. The struggle now is to find ways to compensate producers of the software, sustain the open‑source commons, and avoid burning out maintainers. The Open Source Pledge project is an effort to persuade companies to pay maintainers by making it a social norm. On October 8, the project is launching a marketing campaign to raise awareness and try to get a larger conversation started around paying maintainers.
