FaunaDB is quite amazing. Someone who have used DynamoDB and Cloud DataStore/FireStore extensively, I find FaunaDB is a lot more flexible to build bigger applications with complex data models. Their GraphQL offering is equally good. It works really well with Lambda. Row-level authorisation and other security features are out of the box. Only thing, which stops us to switch to FaunaDB is the lack of search support. Only, if they can stream document changes to Kinesis/PubSub then it can integrate seamlessly with other public cloud services including ElasticSearch.
I wish they had an option between free and $45/month. I want to deploy a tiny client side js app that requires http auth. I would rather netlify than a VPS, but not at $45.
Hi there! I'm Lewis, a PM at Fauna.<p>We built this Add-on so that any developer using FaunaDB and Netlify can come up with an idea and launch it super quickly, by simply focusing on the front-end.<p>If you’re a Netlify user who has never heard of FaunaDB and want to add a database to your app, we’re the only database with a direct Add-on. FaunaDB a perfect choice for developers who don’t know much about databases, or would rather not worry about such details :)<p>Users can now create an account and login to FaunaDB with their Netlify account credentials, using a new OAuth login option. Databases created via the Add-on are available for use instantly, and can be managed directly within the FaunaDB Console.
Looked at FDB but was instantly thrown off seeing 180ms to Ireland... What do these numbers represent? Is that a single ping, read, write or something else? <a href="https://app.fauna.com/status" rel="nofollow">https://app.fauna.com/status</a>
