Seeing this soon after the AWS “wire compatible with Mongo” kerfuffle, it makes me think: it would be amazing if the cloud vendors would offer a managed FDB service. An open-source, cloud-agnostic, horizontally scalable, document-oriented transactional database would be an incredible tool. I know AWS is going in the opposite direction these days with proprietary “wire compatible” services but a guy can dream...

It superficially sounds a bit like Azure's CosmoDB - they say that'll scale horizontally as much as you need, it's document-oriented, ACID transactions, with SQL, Mongo and graph APIs. Obviously lacking badly the open-source and cloud-agnostic. I wonder if there's a world where Microsoft and Apple could work together to standardise something cloud-agnostic based on the best of both.
