Database kernel	Based on PostgreSQL 14, with enhancements	Uses Apache Cloudberry as the database kernel, modified for cloud-native architecture
Scalability	Fixed cluster, scaling requires data redistribution	Elastic scaling, compute and storage layers expand independently
Use cases	Suitable for on-premises big data analytics	Suitable for large-scale commercial customers, especially in cloud environments
Deployment model	Traditional on-premises deployment	Kubernetes deployment
Open-source / Commercial	Open-source, managed by Apache Foundation	Commercial, closed-source with additional enterprise features
