Simple DB for fast development
What do you like best about the product?
Fauna DB was pretty simple to use. I was able to quickly set up a database, and painlessly integrate it to the application. Free tier is small but perfect for simple hobby projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation was not always easy to find. All the main ideas are there, but specially when working with SDK you're a little on your own. Js sdk is better documented, python not so much.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simple highlevel database ready to use for simple usecases but flexiblefor scaling. It allowed me a cheap and easy data persistance for the data analysis needed in my project.

FaunaDB takes the pain away from managing the DB
What do you like best about the product?
Since it is a serverless database, FaundaDB doesn't require managing the DB, replication, sharding, backups etc is taken care of. Being a No-SQL Database we don't have to plan the schema well in advance.
What do you dislike about the product?
Does not have realtime DB support. Because of this syncing is a challenge
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use FaundaDB as our backend DB only for certain requirements where we can benefit from the realtime Data
Easiest DB Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
GraphIQ made this codeless DB integration seemless. Love the ability to align with no-code systems and cross functional tech stack. Found the integration toolset very valuable.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a little documentation missing, but one piece is more node script example sheets. Wishing we could have a library of code snippets that allow faster deliverability.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralizing our code base and testing ahead of deployment to validate the quality of the code. Love the real-time DB updates and feeds.
Best developer friendly database
What do you like best about the product?
NoSQL acid compliance database with a developer-friendly GraphQL API.
What do you dislike about the product?
Price seems to be a little large compared to the competition in DB industry.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
FaunaDB provides a database as a service which we can easily use with cloud API.
As a developer, it is helping me to develop our product fast.

Robust and fast yet a little tedious
What do you like best about the product?
Robust, fast, no downtimes, good balance between no-schema documents and indices.
You can manage users and roles in the db, and alegedly call it directly from your client applications. I personally don't use this because my users are managed in firebase, and I have an API that facilitates all calls to the DB

What do you dislike about the product?
Creating indices for everything, steep learning curve for FQL and user-defined functuons.
A lot of the app code goes into the DB as user-functions. I find it hard to maintain my app's code this way. I would prefer to have all my code in the server that calls the db.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cross region DB, cloud native, serverless, fair pricing. Once it was set up I almost didn't have to touch it, except for new features I needed.
Granular Identity Management & Function Clauses features are fantastic for our DB Server in FaunaDB
What do you like best about the product?
It promotes cardinality in which we can categorize numerous elements with either low cardinality (limited distinct items) or high cardinality (a large number of items). Each cluster has a defined set of nodes that belongs to replicas, and every replica will have a complete data copy within our Fauna cluster. Its data node effectively retrieves data and also carries on data persistance. GraphQL features offer us dynamic control whenever we execute queries in its directive.
What do you dislike about the product?
FaunaDB has its domain-specific language called Fauna Query Language (FQL). It interacts through Fauna Shell, and getting familiarity with using these utilities is a gradual learning curve and requires ample time for extensive usage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
FaunaDB gives us granular identity management features which comply with our enterprise standards. Being a multi-tenant DBaaS provider, it provisions both admin-level and application-level identity and security enhancements for our database servers. We can code our function clauses which help in a quick filter and data analysis when we have an ample amount of data stored in our database. Further, it has both built-in and user-defined functions, which we use for avoiding duplication of code, maintaining FQL consistency, and performing abstraction and decoupling in our data stores.
Can be used as an external DB to store information that need not be retained within an application
What do you like best about the product?
Able to send any data without the need to define the data structure priorhand. Able to store multiple data and query data. Able to manipulate and modify data easily
What do you dislike about the product?
Fauna's Shell doesnot allow to export the FQL query output in a usable format like CSV or json. This makes extraction and data export difficult to work with. Need good developer knowledge to script and query data
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
External hosted DB. Fauna helps to save less important data externally like form results, survey results, etc.
Trustworthy
What do you like best about the product?
FaunaDB offers immediate access to the data that is hosted on it. It allows to modify data, delete, insert, select and read data in a natural way without limitations.
What do you dislike about the product?
FaunaDB makes it easy to organize and store your data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
FaunaDB supports document, relational, graphic and temporal data sets from a single query. In addition to its own FQL query language.

Implementation advantages:
High scalability and easy integration.
Real time access.
Combine the simplicity of GraphQL

I recommend FaunaDB:
First of all, there is a free tier! perfect for those small projects that need a back end.

Fast and friendly cloud database with API
What do you like best about the product?
It is pretty easy to get started on a generous free plan is enough to build a proof of concept solution. It was also straightforward to connect to my database from my app and get the data back. I used it from my C# service as well as the Node.js. The dashboard is intuitive and the extension for VS Code was helpful as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
One feature that I would love to have is to run some code when changes to the database occur - something like triggers in SQL databases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data storage and API ready to use with built-in authentication and authorization
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Advise to at least try it out to see how it works.
