FTA:

> FoundationDB, a transactional key-value store that supports multi-key strictly serializable transactions across its entire key-space. FoundationDB (FDB, for short) is opensource. The paper says that: "FDB is the underpinning of cloud infrastructure at Apple, Snowflake and other companies, due to its consistency, robustness and availability for storing user data, system metadata and configuration, and other critical information."

> The main idea in FDB is to decouple transaction processing from logging and storage. Such an unbundled architecture enables the separation and horizontal scaling of both read and write handling.
