Having looked at FoundationDB a bit it wasn't clear why I would choose it. It has transactions, which is nice, but not that big of a deal despite how much time they put into talking about it. I actually don't even need transactions since all of my writes commute, so it's particularly uninteresting to me. They say they're fast, but I didn't find a ton of information about that. Ultimately the sell seemed to be "nosql with transactions" and I just couldn't justify putting more time into it. I did watch their excellent talk on testing, and I respect that they've put that level of effort into it, and it was why I even considered it, but yeah, what am I missing?
