I've only recently been evaluating FoundationDB for an upcoming project and have not yet gotten into the video roundup, so please forgive..

Is anyone using FoundationDB as a graphdb akin to Neo4j?

It seems to me Document Layers could be used to create virtual property edges from the underlying KV store?

Any thoughts/plans on how Foundation could be used as a graph in general?

Thanks!

Yes, creating an adjacency list graph model would be straight forward. The most important thing is to keep as many operations in flight as possible, as the graph model is essentially a lot of distributed pointer chasing. If you’re interested in some help with your evaluation, you can send me an email to the address in my profile.
