System Properties Comparison Bangdb vs. FoundationDB vs. GBase vs. Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB vs. Yaacomo

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Created as commercial project in 2013, FoundationDB has been acquired by Apple in March 2015 and was withdrawn from the market.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.

Yaacomo seems to be discontinued and is removed from the DB-Engines ranking
