Soooo stoked. This should make futzing with it to get started a lot easier.
I've been thinking about going to the FoundationDB summit to hopefully learn more... Does anyone have any good resources for learning about it? I've tried a few times but find the documentation a bit hard to grok. Maybe I'm just slow.
Also if you haven't seen it, this is one of the most amazing talks on distributed systems (because it's about testing them) I've ever seen (by Will Wilson from FoundationDB pre-Apple merger): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fFDFbi3toc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fFDFbi3toc
Truly mind blowing how good FoundationDB is supposed to be for its use cases, and this Mongo layer is just the business when it comes to helping adoption.
- andrewflnr 8y agoThat talk was glorious. "We want to build a database, but first we need to build a simulator for the database, but first we need to write a compiler to help us write the simulator." It would be self-parodying engineering hubris if it hadn't worked.
