No Infrastructure, NoSQL, No Complaints
What do you like best about the product?
We don't have to manage any infrastructure, the cost scales with us
The FQL X syntax is very similar to TypeScript, which means we don't have to develop across different paradigms (frontend, backend, and database all use the same syntax)
Schema management built-in means we don't have to worry about generating/applying/rolling back schema migrations
Close partnership, and active Discord, means any questions or challenges are addressed quickly and time is taken by technical people to address them

What do you dislike about the product?
Although you can setup private endpoints to connect privately via AWS, I can't find any documentation on doing the same for on-premise architecture. Fauna is doing a great job at integrating with new cloud technologies, but it might not be an easy option for some types of infrastructure deployments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
No infrastrucutre management, means we don't have the overhead of system administrators/DBAs, we don't need to manage replication/scaleability, and there's no requirement for OS updates with downtime etc.
The costs scale with usage, which isn't true of traditional/on-premise systems.
Easy to use, reducing the skills requirements for software development - don't need to learn another language since FQL X is so intuitive & similar to TypeScript

A new level of performance with top of the line security
What do you like best about the product?
The combination of being able to securely run queries on the client or an edge device with Javascript-like queries to get and mutate data make Fauna unique in the database space. Developers can quickly pick up the new tool and easily modify access rules centrally. The serverless nature of the service is amazing and is the main reason you can easily connect a massive set of devices (or lambdas) without worrying about connection pooling.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing to dislike about Fauna but because the product is so new, it is hard to find well-documented patterns for it. Reaching out to the Fauna team is the best way to resolve edge cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fauna solves scaling issues we have run into with other databases specifically in the serverless realm. Building serverless services can be difficult but Fauna makes it easy to ignore the biggest integration issue which is connection pooling.
Fauna is the only backend you need
What do you like best about the product?
Fauna has a simple to use user authentication and authorization system that is at the same extendible to a powerful enterprise ABAC system.
Also, I don't need to worry about managing the server because it's serverless.
Then you need to know that it's a document-based database. You store documents in a JSON structure, which gives you a lot of flexibility over traditional SQL table databases. In contrast to other document databases, Fauna offers Schemes and Types, so you always have a clear picture of your data, including data integrity.

What do you dislike about the product?
They could explain their great product better and more simply. You need some time to get into the docs, but you will be highly rewarded if you do it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We replaced our database and almost all of our backend with Fauna. Only at places where we need to call third-party Apps do we need a backend because Fauna is not (yet) supporting it. This made the whole stack so much easier for new developers joining us and also maintaining a simple tech stack.
with Fauna I am enjoying the flexibility of NoSQL with the RDBMS capabilities
What do you like best about the product?
With the flexibility of NoSQL with the RDBMS capabilities, I am able to define schema files and create a relational database of need. with this, I am able to spare more time on building robust applications instead of database management
What do you dislike about the product?
since it is new, need to spare some time to get it handy. else I didn't find any problem working with Faunadb. I good video tutorial can help the growing community of Faunadb because i found the documentation bit confusing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With the flexibility of NoSQL with the RDBMS capabilities, Faunadb is actually giving me the superiority of both RDMS and NoSQL and hence saving me lot of time in product development rather than managing database
Great cloud serverless DB
What do you like best about the product?
It's very flexible- provides NoSQL functions with the relational query capabilities and native GraphQL. It's also cloud based (serverless) which is so awesome! :)
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing plan for individual developers and small teams is pretty high, but there is a free plan which have good quotas so you can get used to the faunaDB.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves problem with high scalable, relational ultra fast database in cloud with GraphQL option.
Best Serverless DB solution out there!
What do you like best about the product?
Fauna DB is fast in spinning up databases and connecting to them, though it is a serverless DB solution.
There are rarely any cold starts when using it.
The FQL language they have developed is very similar to GraphQL which is easy to learn for someone new to Fauna DB.

What do you dislike about the product?
Even though FQL is easy to learn and native support for GraphQL is there, a person coming from SQL background will find it complicated and intimidating to use.
If native support for this is added, it will be really helpful to SQL devs.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Outsourcing the DB needs to some platform like Fauna was really helpful for us focus on other things.
As it is fast and has native support for GraphQL (which we primarily use), we found it helpful in no time.

Future of Serverless DBs
What do you like best about the product?
FaunaDB is an excellent concept of taking the database to the distributed system's world by going through a serverless approach while keeping the noSQL and ACID properties of any modern database intact.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not see any downside to FaunaDB. It is very well designed and structured to cater to its customers and user base utilizing the modern tech stack of serverless applications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
FaunaDB is coming in as an alternative to cloud vendor-provided DB solutions like Firestore and DynamoDB while giving the flexibility of a NoSQL database like MongoDB
Fauna - NoSQL with Relational Querying and Transactions
What do you like best about the product?
Fauna sure does offer a lot of functionality in their free version. They have plenty of SDKs to choose from and a lot of walkthrus and tutorials. The promise of trasanctional nosql with indexes is a strong.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve on Fauna looks daunting. It has the feel of MongoDB at first. However, it might be too much if you come from a pure SQL background. I get the feeling that Fauna might be the last database you will ever need, if you can figure out how to use it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fauna takes care of the servers and scaling. Setting up servers, installing services, applying patches, and managing security, are the pain points Fauna is solving. Beyond that, they have a database that is NoSQL that supports transactions and indexing. This is something that is relatively new in the NoSQL landscape.
Good upcoming distributed Serverless Database
What do you like best about the product?
The scaling options provided by fauna DB for the given pricing are very insightful and cheap compared to other options available in the market with similar features.
What do you dislike about the product?
Fauna DB uses FQL, which is Fauna Query Language which has a procedural approach and might be little intimidating to new users to use when compared to other famous options available outside like GraphQL for instance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a lot of sensitive client data which we wanted to store in a more secured way and especially at a better price and we wanted a serverless setup so that there ie very little over head on the developers.
Distributed serverless DB
What do you like best about the product?
It has combination of NoSQL and ACID compliant which is what most of companies need a lot right now to have performance and also save the cost for long term. Most of comanies are looking in this area.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not available on on-premis where still lots of healthcare and insurance companies are having huge clusters on -premis.
Perhaps this can be looked into to acquire more customers.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Need ACID complaint along with NoSQL db performance. It gives us that.
