 My talk's a little less ambitious than quantum mechanics Are you allowed to say that it was it was a phenomenal talk I mean, can you can you imagine trying to distill quantum computing in five minutes? It was phenomenal, but ten Okay, okay, but Man, it was it was literally breathtaking so So, okay And so I'm here to talk to you about foundation DB Which is the name of the company that I work at I'm one of the co-founders and the name of the product that we're building And today we're making an announcement about foundation DB so The story up till now if you haven't been following it is that when foundation DB When we founded the company four years ago, we were sort of confronted with this Compromise this challenge when we were looking at database systems Which is do we adopt a no sequel database and get all of the operational advantages that the distributed design the fault tolerance all of that stuff Or do we go with a database that has acid transactions and transactional integrity and to us these seemed like Two things that we wanted both of them and so we founded foundation DB to build a product that combined those properties we did two and a half years of development in stealth and Then went to another year and a half in alpha in beta testing and That brings us to today almost over four years later Which we're announcing commercial availability of the foundation DB product today, so very exciting for our team. We've got yeah Thank you very much What we're bringing to market is the first commercial Distributed no sequel database with true high performance acid transactions so no sequel and transactions and We're also bringing to market the first no sequel database to offer true data model flexibility And this is really enabled by the transactional guarantees that are within foundation DB Those transactions allow you to build strong abstractions That let you build other data models on top of foundation DB's basic key value API We're also announcing today the business model for foundation DB in the licensing for foundation DB and Our number one goal is we all sort of know the database market has a reputation of being difficult to work with So our goal is to be the easiest database company in the world to work with so to that end The easiest thing in the world is free So what we're announcing it is an incredible free community license for foundation DB Which is unlimited in size of data Unlimited in number of operations per second unlimited in a lot of ways limited to six foundation DB worker processes Also unlimited in that you can use it in production So what we're announcing is it is a community license which doesn't just get you started with foundation DB It actually lets you run it in production in a meaningful fault tolerant configuration We're also announcing Flexible and transparent pricing for the product the pricing is $99 per worker process per month So that's the transparency the flexibility comes from this per-process licensing model by Licensing it not per machine or differentiating based on hardware specs or a lot of other Pricing techniques and just pricing it at this simple sort of flat rate per process It gives the user of foundation DB a ton of flexibility to actually deploy the product Whether it's in within their own data center or on the cloud or something else in sort of the way that makes the most sense economically for them and finally Foundation DB is building an ecosystem of what we call layers which I know is a generic term So come talk to us afterwards and we'll talk more about that But these layers expose a variety of data models of libraries and of integration with other frameworks on top of the foundation DB database engine One of the layers that we're especially excited about is we recently acquired another database company based out of Boston called the Keben technologies who's been working on a sequel database and by using the a Keben technology and The way that they have built that abstraction We're going to be able to deliver a sequel layer within the next couple of months to our beta customers that will Run sequel true transactional acid sequel on top of this no sequel storage engine The ecosystem also creates a ton of partner opportunities. So if you're interested, please connect with us We have seven members of our team here today I'm giving a panel and a presentation tomorrow on no sequel and acid and we also have a very cool demo at our booth. Thank you
