Created as commercial project in 2013, FoundationDB has been acquired by Apple in March 2015 and was withdrawn from the market.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

It is based on Cassandra.Based on PostgreSQL enhanced with MPP and write-scale-out cluster featuresCassandra and DynamoDB compatible wide column storeFast distributed SQL query engine for big data analytics.
