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DB-Engines ranking.Created as commercial project in 2013, FoundationDB has been acquired by Apple in March 2015 and was withdrawn from the market.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.
DescriptionHighly scalable database system, designed for managing session and subscriber data in modern mobile communication networksFull-featured RDBMS with a small footprint, either embedded into a Java application or used as a database server.Ordered key-value store. Core features are complimented by layers.Wide-column store based on Apache Hadoop and on concepts of BigTableFully managed big data interactive analytics platform
