The best technologies aren't always the most fashionable technologies — FoundationDB is very good, but it isn't flashy or fancy and the concepts that it addresses are hard to understand, so it isn't that popular. It also doesn't help that FoundationDB is really a toolkit (foundation), rather than a complete "here's my objects, store them" database.
- lll-o-lll 1y agoWith the “Record Layer” you get that “here’s my objects, store them”. Unfortunately, that layer is Java, so it’s not out of the box if that’s not your language. It’d be nice if they could provide an gRPC api for the Record Layer.
