Fauna

Fauna is a serverless database that combines the benefits of relational and NoSQL databases, offering a document-relational model. This allows users to leverage features like relations, joins, and foreign keys, while also enjoying the flexibility of NoSQL databases. Fauna provides easy access to its database through drivers in languages such as Go, JavaScript, and Python, as well as through its GraphQL API and a proprietary query language called FQL (Fauna Query Language). FQL enables users to execute complex business logic directly within the database.

One of the key features of Fauna is its high data security, which includes attribute-based access control (ABAC). This model extends traditional role-based access control by allowing permissions to be assigned based on user attributes, ensuring that data is protected from unauthorized access. Fauna also supports a web shell and a Visual Studio Code extension, making it easier for developers to interact with the database and write queries.

Fauna is designed to support high scalability and performance, making it suitable for web and mobile applications. Its serverless architecture means users do not need to manage servers or infrastructure, reducing operational costs and complexity. Overall, Fauna offers a flexible, secure, and scalable database solution that integrates well with various cloud platforms and development frameworks.
