FoundationDB is a bit weird, but it handles automatic scaling-out, and has an ANSI SQL interface (backed onto a K-V store): https://foundationdb.com/key-value-store/white-papers/scalability https://foundationdb.com/key-value-store/white-papers/scalab...
Caveat: I've not used it for more than hobby stuff yet, but it's a fascinating bit of technology!
- lmm 12y agoSounds interesting, but frankly I wouldn't trust anything so young in production yet. For all mongo's faults, at this point the pitfalls are reasonably well-known and there are enough serious organizations using it at scale to give a certain level of confidence.
