What Happens When Apple Buys a Company You Depend On
Summary
Travis Jeffery is a software developer whos been using a database system called FoundationDB for a project at his startup. Neither company has responded to our request for confirmation, and FoundationDB hasnt updated its Twitter account since Monday. Instead, its yet another a cautionary tale about putting too much faith in unproven companies offering proprietary software that could go away at any time—especially when a behemoth like Apple swoops in to buy it up. It might want to use FoundationDBs technology to power its own web infrastructure, which ranges from iCloud to the AppStore to its mobile advertising service. The new company called itself Couchbase, and set to work created a new database that combined elements of both projects.
