My talk is at 10:40! If anyone is attending and would be interested in meeting up, my email is in my profile and my Twitter handle is the same as my HN username.
Considering these applications won’t be ported to FDB, why not develop a translation later. This will also drive adoption of FDB.
Having smart people work on cool things is not sufficient, you also need them to be working on solving high impact but boring problems.
Writing a translation layer would be nice, "drop in" replacement can be an overkill to drive growth.
That said the three biggest factors for adoption in my opinion are developer experience, tooling and hosting.
If some FoundationDB enthusiasts made an elastic hosting service and some dedicated tooling it would be help massively to compete with others NoSQL Vendors.
> This talk will provide a developer’s perspective building a new FoundationDB layer by describing the design and development of a record store that can provide semantics similar to a relational database. This example layer will provide the core functionality of a structured data store such as metadata management, indexing, and query planning.
The JanusGraph support is a real project, though.
