Congrats to the team on the release. Using FoundationDB has been one of the most rock solid NoSQL experiences I've ever had, and I've used a lot. After having a few months to hammer my cluster with fairly low level atomic operations, I can confidently say this thing holds up to pretty much anything you want to throw at it. Coming from the land of HBase and DynamoDB, It's ability to automatically (and intelligently) repartition data based on write throughput has been an administrative breakthrough for me.

Looking forward to additional use cases I can throw at this beast of a system.

Kudos to you guys!

Any chance of writing up a case study in detail to share your experience and best practice, especially the comparison with other DBs?

Could you add some details about your scale?
