FDB is an awesome and unique piece of software (I attribute quite a bit of Snowflake's success to FDB). I've also had the pleasure of meeting some folks from the original team and they are true engineers. Does anyone know if/when Redwood (the new storage engine) has landed / will land?

Founders are building a distributed systems simulation product now called Antithesis. My data fabric startup, Stardog, is a happy Antithesis early adopter customer. It’s helping us reproduce and fix non-deterministic bugs deterministically. Good stuff.
