I'd be interested to see comparisons/benchmarks against FoundationDB. DynamoDB transactions make dynamo a serious alternative to FDB now. I can see the two manage advantages for FDB being: 1) you can deploy it on premise (which is potentially important for some B2B companies), 2) it shuffles data around so that hot-spotting of a cluster is eliminated (which dynamo appears to still suffer from).

Foundation DB is open source!
