  I think because when they sold to Apple they pulled their support and binaries.

    Didn't Apple basically buy it as an acquihire and shut it down the next day?

  FoundationDB had everything (launched or work in progress). SQL that was fast like NoSQL, No single point of failure, Scaling, Search, etc, etc... all built into one database. It was designed to remove the pain of managing many different components. For example, handling 'search' separately (via solr/lucene/cloudsearch) is a pain. I'm not sure about the downvotes. I guess HN has lots of karma-police.

    I was thinking about the « burning the bridge on initial users » part. But maybe you meant selling to Apple.
