Do you feel like the tutorials on https://apple.github.io/foundationdb/tutorials.html#fundamen... are a good way for someone to get an impression of what the experience of working with FoundationDB feels like in practice? Are there any go-to walkthroughs that you'd recommend?

That class scheduling one is a good place to grok the basics. Just extending the kind of approach introduced there will get you decently far.

The best resource after the tutorials is: https://github.com/FoundationDB/awesome-foundationdb

Unfortunately, I think a lot of the advanced 'tricks of the trade' (alternatives to use cases for long-running transactions, when exactly to dispatch to a cloud object store, how to migrate whatever schemas you end up creating, etc.) that all the big serious users of FDB are doing are not as well covered.

I for one would be an avid audience if you ever wanted to blog about any of that!
