Description

This is more of an enhancement request than a bug.

Currently Micronaut supports a number of databases. This request is to add support for FoundationDB.

FoundationDB is a key-value style DB that supports full ACID transactions and is highly performant and scalable. It was purchased by Apple in 2013, and has been recently open sourced.

It would be great to add support for it to Micronaut.

The URL for their website is https://www.foundationdb.org/

Research direction
First, review the comments on this issue for any additional context or discussion about the implementation approach. Then, examine Micronaut's existing database support modules (e.g., micronaut data) to understand the integration patterns used. Finally, explore FoundationDB's Java client library and its features to identify how it could be integrated into Micronaut's data layer.
