How FoundationDB works and why it works

I found a dataloss bug in the first hour of testing FDB. I think their testing hype is a bit overhyped.

I also find it somewhat irritating that they won't take fixes or reports of problems with the storage engine because "we fixed this in redwood" when redwood is completely theoretical.

You've been able to use redwood since FDB 7.1 via ssd-redwood-1-experimental. Hardly theoretical.

Curious about that data loss bug. do you have a link? most bugs I've seen have to due with latency spikes and cluster unavailability. haven't seen any around data loss after transaction has committed.
