FReD is a distributed middleware for Fog Replicated Data. It abstracts data management for fog-based applications by grouping data into keygroups, each keygroup a set of key-value pairs that can be managed independently. Applications have full control over keygroup replication: replicate your data where you need it.

FReD is maintained by Tobias Pfandzelter, Trever Schirmer, and Nils Japke of the Mobile Cloud Computing research group at Technische Universität Berlin and Einstein Center Digital Future in the scope of the FogStore project. Funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) – 415899119.
