European R&D Expansion Deep into the Open-Source EcosystemIn mid-September 2026, the iDev Berlin Tech Hub officially opened in the Kreuzberg tech district. This is the company's fourth overseas location and the first overseas center positioned purely for R&D.R&D Focus AreasOpen-source distributed database engine with PostgreSQL protocol compatibility, optimized for cloud-native scenariosKubernetes-native microservices orchestration framework to simplify multi-cluster management complexityLightweight service mesh implementation to reduce resource overhead compared to solutions like IstioData sovereignty compliance toolset tailored for the European marketTalent StrategyBerlin is renowned for its rich open-source community culture and internationally diverse talent pool. The iDev Berlin center's initial team comprises 18 engineers, including 3 core contributors hired full-time from prominent open-source projects. The center plans to expand to 40 people within a year, primarily recruiting senior engineers with backgrounds in kernel development, database engines, and distributed systems.Open-Source CommitmentR&D output from the Berlin center will be prioritized for open-source release under the Apache 2.0 license. iDev's CTO stated that the company's business model does not rely on code lock-in but rather commercializes through enterprise management planes and professional support services. The Berlin team's first open-source project is expected to debut at KubeCon North America in November.
