Fauna Reviews & Product Details

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Documentation was not always easy to find. All the main ideas are there, but especially when working with SDK you're a little on your own. Js sdk is better documented, python not so much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 persistence. GraphQL features offer us dynamic control whenever we execute queries in its directive.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part of Faunadb would be the fast integration and start your application with the Free plan. I use Fauna for my dynamic websites in Gatsbyjs. The flexibility it provided in terms of integration and development makes developer life more effortless. I m new to GraphQL, but the documentation and tuts on Fauna helped me to start the projects seamlessly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I would like Faunadb to have would be to create functions for the data changes happening in the data sets. Auto data aggregation sort of things Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
