Will said what I wanted to say, but: me too. I'm super happy about this and grateful to the team that made it happen! (I was one of the co-founders of FoundationDB-the-company and was the architect of the product for a long time. Now that it's open source, I can rejoin the community!)

Another (non-technical) founder here - and I echo everything voidmain just said. We built a product that is unmatched in so many important ways, and it's fantastic that it's available to the world again. Will be exciting to watch a community grow around it - this is a product that can benefit hugely from OS contributions as layers that sit on top of the core KV store.

  I wrote a java port of the python counter many moons ago [1]. Will have to resurrect it! [1] https://github.com/leemorrisdev/foundationcounter https://github.com/leemorrisdev/foundationcounter

    It should probably be pointed out that atomic increment is in most situations a more efficient solution for high contention counters in modern FDB.

      Ah I don’t believe that was available last time I used it - I’ll check it out thanks!

Ditto. So glad to see FoundationDB available again! Both the tech and the company have been missed. (Former FoundationDB Solutions Engineer :) )
