System Properties Comparison Atos Standard Common Repository vs. BigchainDB vs. FoundationDB vs. Snowflake vs. TempoIQ

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

This system has been discontinued and will be removed from the DB-Engines ranking.

Created as commercial project in 2013, FoundationDB has been acquired by Apple in March 2015 and was withdrawn from the market. As a consequence, the product was removed from the DB-Engines ranking. In April 2018, Apple open-sourced FoundationDB and it therefore reappears in the ranking.

TempoIQ seems to be decommissioned. It will be removed from the DB-Engines ranking.
