> quite possibly the only distributed database out there that lives up to its strict serializability claims Jepsen has never tested FoundationDB, not sure why

  FDB co-founder here. Aphyr / Jepsen never tested FDB because, as he tweeted "their testing appears to be waaaay more rigorous than mine." We actually put a screen cap of that tweet in the blog post linked here.

    Just a heads-up for anyone diving deeper into this thread - I dug into the original tweet and managed to track down the parent tweet right here: [1]. Moreover, there's a snapshot on archive.org [2] capturing the reply along with the quote in question. Interestingly, there's also a snapshot from foundationdb.com [3] that discusses the outcomes of running Jepsen tests on FDB. Worth checking out for those interested in the technical nitty-gritty.

  > not sure why you claim this and link to Jepsen's site. They link to the website for a definition of the term they are using.
