FondationDB is such an incredible resource, but it’s so hard to access for the general public. It’s no wonder so few people know about it. I’ve always thought that if there were easier ways to interact with it, or some dev-friendly layers built on top (or public) it would become way more popular. it has shown how well it scales with Apple and snowflake, but is not an obvious choice for non-internet scale applications.
If you don't know about FDB; there's an amazing video about how they test it that really got me into learning more:

- mble_ 2y agoYeah, this is the bit for me. We have almost no good OSS layers for folks to "plug and play". Its a bit of a vicious circle - because there is low exposure, no one is building those layers. Because no one is building the layers, there is no exposure.
