Let developers fly
Our distributed serverless database sets dev teams free to build faster, scale confidently, and soar above all operational obstacles.
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.
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.
