Why has FoundationDB not been professionalised? Better website, better docs, official GUI?
Is Apple responsible for preventing its wider uptake? Or alternative databases stronger?
- fidotron 3mo agoBecause it converts all normal DBA tasks into development tasks. If this fits your org (and at huge scale it is more likely) then that's fine, but for small/mid/growth places that can be a PITA. There does seem to be more effort going into an SQL layer, but it's very hard to know what the state of layer dev and direction is these days, especially if you're not located near core devs.
- Dave_Rosenthal 3mo agoGreat Q--it's weird that Apple, Snowflake, and the other big contributors have put essentially zero calories into documentation/website/etc. There has been some movement lately, though. I'm not sure who exactly to thank, but "the community" created a new unofficial resource for getting going with FoundationDB: https://foundationdb.vercel.app/7.3/ https://foundationdb.vercel.app/7.3/
