The document layer seems to be unmaintained since the end of 2019 and has quite a few bugs. The 1.8.x releases fixed a bunch of bugs but also dropped transaction support. It honestly seems like a great idea, but I'm guessing no one at Apple could justify the time spent working on it.
Better than MongoDB. Easy to scale up. And no MongoDB gotchas for transaction.
I use my FoundationDb cluster as a MongoDB alternative and a Redis alternative. Only one cluster to maintain and two types of functionality! I have tried setting up and maintaining clusters of MongoDB and Redis in the past
and it was horribly complicated. FoundationDB cluster is so much easier to setup and maintain. And it gives me functionality of both Redis KV and MongoDB .
