Overview
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
FoundationDB is a distributed database designed to handle large volumes of structured data across clusters of commodity servers. It organizes data as an ordered key-value store and employs :doc:`ACID transactions <transaction-manifesto>` for all operations. It is especially well-suited for read/write workloads but also has excellent :doc:`performance <performance>` for write-intensive workloads. Users interact with the database using a :doc:`API language binding <api-reference>`. You can :doc:`begin local development <local-dev>` today.

Documentation
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
FoundationDB is a robust choice for a broad range of use cases:
|
|
|
|
**Developers can store all types of data.** FoundationDB is multi-model, meaning you can store many types of data in a single database. All data is safely stored, distributed, and replicated in FoundationDB.
|
|
|
|
**Administrators easily scale and handle hardware failures.** FoundationDB is easy to install, grow, and manage. It has a distributed architecture that gracefully scales out and handles faults while acting like a single ACID database.
|
|
|
|
**FoundationDB has industry-leading performance.** FoundationDB provides amazing performance on commodity hardware, allowing you to support very heavy loads at low cost.
|
|
|
|
**FoundationDB supports flexible application architectures.** Your application can talk directly to FoundationDB, to a layer, or both. Layers provide new capability on top of FoundationDB but are stateless.
