Product

FoundationDB is a new database engine. It combines the most important trait of traditional databases (ACID transactions) with the distributed design, fault tolerance, and high scalability of NoSQL databases.

We've solved the hard problems of database consistency, fault tolerance, and scalability so that developers can spend their time adding value and features to their applications, rather than continually re-architecting them to handle increasing numbers of users.
