Does anyone know if FoundationDB is gaining ground over Cassandra at Apple?
- nemothekid 8y agoI recall a couple years ago that it was rumored that Apple had bought FDB with the intention of replacing Cassandra (and I think, at the time, Apple had the largest Cassandra cluster ever known). Combined with other statements in this thread, I think that may be true. I remember reading once that iMessage used to be served by Cassandra, but now its served by FDB. This is all speculation though.
- seidoger 8y agoThe FDB Record Layer white paper [0], section 8.1, does open with: > 8.1 New CloudKit Capabilities > CloudKit was initially implemented using Cassandra as the underlying storage engine. So it seems this is what happened, for CloudKit at least. [0] https://www.foundationdb.org/files/record-layer-paper.pdf https://www.foundationdb.org/files/record-layer-paper.pdf
