FoundationDB development has not stalled; v8 is still on the way. If anything, it's mostly just been stable for a while now, and it has now been developed as open source longer than it existed as closed source.

Right, FoundationDB wasn't even open source when Apple acquired them. The FoundationDB story is a prime example of why it is important to use open source technologies for foundational infrastructure.

It was independent (I think it predates the CNCF actually), but was acquired by Apple in 2015 and disappeared until it was open sourced in 2018.
