This seems nice. Besides a bunch of fanboy comments coming from the creators and devs, why is this exciting to the rest of us where things like the capability to join tables in an rdbms is trivial.
FDB is lower layer. It makes it possible to build a distributed rdbms on top of it. There are is some competition in this area, nothing remotely as mature as FDB.
Thanks for the downvote. My question still remains.
Didn't downvote you, but I believe the excitement is over FoundationDB's ability to perform ACID compliant distributed transactions without sacrificing performance -which to my knowledge no current RDBMS or even NoSql can do.
