Today the [FoundationDB Document Layer](https://www.foundationdb.org/blog/announcing-document-layer/) was released! From the announcement:

> The FoundationDB Document Layer provides the ease-of-use of a document database in the form of the familiar MongoDB® API. The Document Layer is a stateless server, backed by the scalable and transactional features of FoundationDB.
