  FDB is fault-tolerant, auto-scaling, auto-healing, and auto-sharding. The sorted bytes-to-bytes map data format and multi-row transactions lets a skilled developer build almost anything on top of it. Atomic operations let you do things with higher performance without worrying about conflicts. Ops can be a learning curve but it is mostly because people run it at the red-line 24/7 for maximum efficiency. If you were running it at 3/4 capacity you would never worry about it at all. A single binary for all roles makes it very easy to deploy. AFAIK, no one has lost a byte to an FDB issue.
