From 5 Database Providers to 1: Why We Built a Multi-Engine Platform
If you run a modern application stack, you probably use at least three different database engines. PostgreSQL for your application data. MongoDB or another document store for unstructured content. Valkey (or Redis) for caching and session storage. Kafka for event streaming. Maybe MySQL for a legacy service that nobody wants to migrate.
Each engine runs on a different managed provider. Each provider has its own dashboard, its own CLI, its own billing, its own alerting system, its own way of handling backups, its own access control model. You pay five bills, manage five sets of credentials, and context-switch between five different interfaces when something goes wrong at 2 AM.
We built FoundryDB to solve this problem: one platform for all your database engines, with a single API, a single dashboard, and a single bill.
