FaunaDB is a global serverless database that rethinks the client-server relationship. With a web-native GraphQL interface that supports custom business logic, a consistent data and compute fabric with modern security, and total freedom from database operations, FaunaDB enables you to simplify code, reduce costs and ship faster.
Build better apps faster with a powerful data interface that combines GraphQL and custom business logic across document, relational and graph data models.
Built consistent, secure, and elastic from the get go, FaunaDB ensures data correctness, reliability, security and scalability so your application code doesn’t have to.
Replace your entire database infrastructure with a modern data API. Put your backend on autopilot and experience total freedom from operations at any scale.
Ship faster with powerful queries that combine GraphQL with user-defined functions to offload business logic. Flexible modeling across document, relational, and graph data.
100% ACID, with globally consistent reads and writes without compromising latency and scale. Trust your app data. Eliminate unnecessary code.
Data automatically replicated across global regions instantly, correctly. Requests are routed automatically to the region closest to the user for low-latency reads and writes ensuring snappiest possible app experience.
Start risk-free with one of the most generous free tiers available. Throttling-free transparent scaling, so your app never encounters unplanned capacity hiccups or outages.
Eliminate complexity with built-in authorization that is easy to use, yet powerful. Lockdown data with a rich, attribute-based security model. Never leave your data unprotected.
Sign up and go. Never again deal with database provisioning, scaling, sharding, replication, and maintenance. Spans multiple clouds so you never see downtime. It just works.
Our customers and partners love FaunaDB because it is productive, modern, uncompromising and operations-free.
FaunaDB’s expressive query language and ACID transactions minimized our time to market, while FaunaDB’s data temporality simplifies our development.

Fauna enables developers to deliver fast, secure, performant web applications, backed by a serverless datastore, that requires zero management. That is why we chose to add the FaunaDB bridge component to our platform. Developers using TMS Web Core with Delphi can now build modern web applications and integrate a serverless backend in minutes --a huge time and cost saver!
— Bruno Fierens, CEO at TMS Software
Fauna’s native Query Language (FQL) combined with the ability to create our own database functions blew our minds. Fauna has elevated the experience of working with databases and turned it into something far more functional, creative, and dare I say... FUN. We’re buzzing with excitement to build more and more projects with Fauna in the coming months. It fits perfectly into our team, our workflows, and feels like the missing link in Jamstack.
— Brain Webster, Co-Founder at Delicious Simplicity
FaunaDB is unique among databases. It meets our transactional, performance, and scalability requirements without compromising developer productivity.
— Prakash Janakiraman, Co-Founder & Chief Architect, Nextdoor
At Netlify, we're seeing a boom in the adoption of serverless architectures and FaunaDB is fast emerging as the de-facto datastore for those deploying stateful apps on the Netlify platform.
— Matt Biilmann, CEO, Netlify
FaunaDB delivers the zero config experience that our community wants from a datastore. If you’re building a rich application that needs database, FaunaDB is our favorite choice for the Vercel Now platform.
— Guillermo Rauch, CEO & Founder, Vercel
At Apollo, we're excited to see FaunaDB offer serverless GraphQL. GraphQL makes data access dramatically simpler for developers building modern web applications.
— Matt DeBergalis, VP Product & Co-Founder, Apollo
Our testing suggests that FaunaDB offers serializability, and, optionally, strict serializability, in only one cross-datacenter round-trip ... Calvin-based systems like FaunaDB could play an important future role in the distributed database landscape.
