Distributed data, simplified

Fauna is the only serverless, globally distributed cloud database that combines the flexibility of NoSQL systems with the relational querying and ACID consistency of SQL databases. Delivered as a secure and scalable cloud API with native GraphQL, Fauna lifts the operational burden from your development team and sets them free to focus on what matters most to your business.

Scale with confidence

The document-relational database built for modern applications

We coined the term document-relational because it perfectly describes how we accelerate modern application development by integrating semi-structured document data with ACID guarantees and a robust query language. Welcome to the familiarity and flexibility of JSON documents combined with the relationships and querying power of a traditional database —distributed globally and accessible via a secure, cloud API.

Why development teams love us

Native serverless

Built serverless from day one, we focus on improving developer productivity with tools and flexible integrations that accelerate application development without operational headaches.

Multi-region by default

Fauna optimally routes requests for low latency, has database replicas for redundancy against regional cloud failures and provides region choice to help meet data residency requirements.

No connection pools

Accessed through an API call over HTTP, call Fauna directly from your FaaS functions like AWS Lambda or Cloudflare Workers, and do not worry about cold starts or connection pools.

Strongly consistent

Built to ensure data consistency under highly concurrent workloads, features like Backup and Restore and Attribute-based access control (ABAC) give teams fine-grain security controls to protect your data.

Hear why our customers love Fauna

With Fauna we are able to define a schema file and quickly create a database with all the relations we need with just a file upload. And as we grow and scale we don’t have to worry about performance or data correctness.

Insights.GG has 125,000 daily active users, with over one million downloads across Asia, North America, and Europe. PostgreSQL and CockroachDB couldn't scale automatically beyond one region, so we switched to Fauna which resulted in a 70% reduction in latency across all regions while reducing our operational costs.

Fauna's multi-tenancy and attribute-based security model enables us to provide each customer with their own individual, personalized, and encrypted database for storing their personal information like passwords, credit cards, and recovery emails.

We chose Fauna because it offers us the flexibility of document models for getting started, but it has key relational database features like ACID transactions and stored procedure-like capabilities with user-defined functions (UDFs).

Will Kimbell - CTO/Architect, Connexin

Adopting Fauna and Compute@Edge early on has been instrumental in our ability to test and release features quickly. It allows us to maintain our data logic in a single place, and provides enough flexibility to adapt to different requirements across our application.

Isis T. Baulig - CTO, Climatiq

Fauna helps us deliver modern healthcare experiences, better and faster. With Fauna, we can focus on building robust, reliable data-driven applications, instead of having to manage databases. It is a game changer for modern business.
