In the first part of this series, we developed the basics necessary to connect to the FaunaDB Cloud. Using that client, we then created our first database. In the second part, we developed the concept of the database-specific client and used that to create our first...

FaunaDB Cloud was launched last year as the industry’s first (and still only) multi-cloud serverless database service. We’ve seen growing interest in our offering--serving 2M queries daily and counting! We continue to add new capabilities to FaunaDB based on your feedback, and make them available as part of our...

In the first part of this series, we developed the basics necessary to connect to the FaunaDB Cloud. Using that client, we then created our first database. Picking up where we left off, this video will: Go through the process of creating a secure database specific client Create a...

This is the first in a series of short videos, each (hopefully) less than 10 minutes. These videos are introductions to FaunaDB, specifically how to interact with it using the Fauna Query Language (FQL) through the Go driver. Fauna supports many drivers including Java, JavaScript, Python, C#, and Go...

In the previous article, we learned how FaunaDB provides the ideal platform for event-driven programming by providing mission critical, ACID transactions at a global scale. This article helps you get started using FaunaDB for such transactions. If you are new to FaunaDB, we’d recommend reading the FaunaDB CRUD documentation for a...

I’d like to give an update on our efforts to verify FaunaDB’s transactional correctness guarantees. FaunaDB is a mission critical NoSQL database. Most database technologies sound like a joke version of the "good, fast, or cheap" mantra: usable, scalable, or correct, choose two, but more often just choose one, and...

MongoDB has become a very popular database. To be quite honest, I hadn’t noticed MongoDB’s rise in popularity over the past few years. This is largely due to the fact that I had been on the transactional side of data management and MongoDB was clearly on the analytical/reporting side. MongoDB...

Event-driven architectures are widely adopted patterns that model an application as a series of software components or services. Those services react to commands that represent business and/or user actions and result in events. Event-driven architectures help modern applications solve the challenges of scalability, auditability / traceability and immutability. These architectures...

I recently posted about FaunaDB’s unified data model, and how we take advantage of our global ACID transactions as a foundation for users to interact with the data, using the correct query model for their applications. This week, Werner Vogels, the CTO of Amazon.com, wrote a post about
