No write up, but the main reason was reusing the existing database we were comfortable deploying at the time. We were already using FDB for an online aggregation / mutation store for ad-hoc time-series analytics...albeit, a custom layer that we wrote (not RecordLayer).

When RecordLayer launched, I tested it out by building a catalog system that we could evolve and add new services with a single repository of protobuf schemas.

Thanks. What are the typical use cases for FDB? What can it do that, say, Cassandra can't?

can you do a concise +/- on FDB? I’ve always thought it was a fantastic architecture but never tried it. tia
