ClustrixDB vs FoundationDB: What are the differences?

What is ClustrixDB? Clustered SQL database built for e-commerce. ClustrixDB is a scale-out SQL database built from the ground up with a distributed shared nothing architecture, automatic data redistribution (so you never need to shard), with built in fault tolerance, all accessible by a simple SQL interface and support for business critical MySQL features – replication, triggers, stored routines, etc.

What is FoundationDB? Multi-model database with particularly strong fault tolerance, performance, and operational ease. FoundationDB is a NoSQL database with a shared nothing architecture. Designed around a "core" ordered key-value database, additional features and data models are supplied in layers. The key-value database, as well as all layers, supports full, cross-key and cross-server ACID transactions.

ClustrixDB and FoundationDB can be categorized as "Databases" tools.

Some of the features offered by ClustrixDB are:

• Is built from the ground up with a shared-nothing architecture. There is no MySQL code in ClustrixDB
• Is built to scale transactions while maintaning ACID
• Scales to add capacity by simply adding commodity servers to the cluster

On the other hand, FoundationDB provides the following key features:

• Multiple data models
• Full, multi-key ACID transactions
• No locking
