Simplify code, reduce costs, and ship faster

Fauna combines the flexibility of the NoSQL model with the relational properties of an RDBMS resulting in a cloud-native database that fits better with modern application development. Moreover, its serverless approach completely eliminates the provisioning, planning and administrative tasks routine with traditional document database services.

A flexible data model

Fauna is an indexed document database that enables you to represent a variety of business data with ease. Document data, relational data, key value pairs and even graph data - Fauna has it covered.

100% ACID

Built on a ground-breaking distributed data and compute engine, Fauna is a transactional database with strictly serializable transaction isolation. With Fauna, all your reads and writes are transactional, yet fast.

Powerful NoSQL queries with business logic

Write document queries, relational queries (including joins), graph traversals, basic search or a combination using FQL or GraphQL . Fauna also lets you create UDFs that encapsulate powerful business logic easily accessible from code via an API call.

Handsfree HA & global replication

Fauna automatically distributes your data to multi-region locations. As a result, it delivers predictable low latency read/write access no matter where your clients are running, as well as protection against data loss from infrastructure failures.

Secure by default

With built-in authorization and a fine-grained security framework that integrates easily with 3rd party authentication services, Fauna makes it simple to implement your data security rules.

Zero operations at any scale

Say goodbye to data sharding, capacity provisioning, and database administration tasks typically associated with legacy NoSQL cloud services. Fauna scales transparently and takes care of all the data operations.

Our testing suggests that Fauna offers serializability, and, optionally, strict serializability, in only one cross-datacenter round-trip ... Calvin-based systems like Fauna could play an important future role in the distributed database landscape.
