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
