> Since FoundationDB is hard to understand, there is (and will be) strong resistance to adoption. That's just how things are: we do not enjoy thinking too hard. More like: we all have limited time, and if it's hard to understand you are asking for a big upfront time investment for a thing that may not even be the best fit for your use case. Anything can be made easier to understand with the right abstractions. The theory of relativity was super hard to understand when it was first developed; you basically had to be an elite physicist. But now non-physicists can understand it at a high level thanks to YouTubers like veritasium and minute physics. Maybe FoundationDB just needs better marketing. Also: your description of FoundationDB reminds me of ZeroMQ, which basically just dumps MQ legos at your feet and tells you to build your own MQ system (as opposed to a batteries included solution like RabbitMQ)
