I didn't gain any understanding though of why they needed to be replaced and how Realm is different.
Realm has excellent marketing, but being a closed source third party SDK disqualifies it as anything I would recommend for my company to use. I've had to deal with enough pain from closed source libraries from the likes of Google and others. Closed-source prevents me from adopting a new platform until the vendor gets around to porting it, and only if it fits with their strategy. Also a middleware-only company is liab…

The core C++ part. They plan to open source it later, but who knows what will happen in the meantime.

Where did you read that they plan to open-source it later?
I see references to a “core” in the code, what is that? The core is referring to our internal C++ storage engine. It is not currently open-source but we do plan on open-sourcing it also under the Apache 2.0 license once we’ve had a chance to clean it up, rename it, and finalize major features inside of it. In the meantime, its binary releases are made available under the Realm Core (TightDB) Binary License.
