Modern applications need a modern database

RDBMS systems designed in the 1970s did not scale. To solve this problem, NoSQL databases sacrificed correctness and flexibility, while NewSQL databases sacrificed operational simplicity and performance. Productivity suffered. If you’re building cloud-native applications that serve audiences in multiple regions, you need a database that is globally scalable, always fast, and reliable, yet productive for your teams, and free from operational complexity.

Fauna is a globally distributed database for modern apps

Whether you’re developing new microservices or augmenting services that are part of your existing application architecture, Fauna lets you simplify code, reduce costs and ship faster.

flexible-data

A modern 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.

global-acid

100% ACID

Built on a ground-greaking 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.

query

Powerful and expressive queries

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

multi-cloud

Built-in global replication

Fauna automatically distributes your data to global 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.

web-native

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-database-operations

Zero operations at any scale

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