with Fauna I am enjoying the flexibility of NoSQL with the RDBMS capabilities

  • November 03, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

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

  • November 01, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

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!

  • November 01, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

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

  • October 28, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

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

  • October 28, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

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

  • October 27, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

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

  • October 27, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

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.

Simple DB for fast development

  • October 25, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

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

  • October 21, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

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

  • October 20, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

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.
