Reduce Total Cost of Ownership
Fauna is built on a truly serverless, distributed architecture that abstracts all operational and scaling overhead.
Automatic Deployment
Instantly provision databases without worrying about clusters, instances, memory, or configurations. Fauna handles it all behind the scenes, allowing you to focus on building your application.
Zero Infrastructure Management
Eliminate infrastructure tasks like sharding, capacity planning, and failover setup. Automatic multi-active replication ensures high availability, low latency, and seamless scaling, regardless of traffic patterns or workload demands.
Modern Architecture
HTTPS connectivity removes middleware layers, a flexible & powerful data model simplifies code and eliminates the need for ORMs, while strong consistency & auto-replication abstracts overhead required in traditional databases.
Multi-Tenant
Deployment
Multi-tenant deployments offer instant provisioning, automatic scaling, and auto-replication across three or more regions. High availability, strong consistency, and fault tolerance built-in.
Dedicated,
Customizable Deployment
Fauna’s single-tenant offering, Virtual Private Fauna, can be fully customized to satisfy specific security, control, or geo-distribution requirements, while maintaining the benefits of a fully serverless operational model.
Ship Features Faster
Iterate quickly and easily adapt to new access patterns with a document-relational model that combines the flexibility of documents with the powerful querying, schema, and strong consistency of a relational database.
Document-Relational Flexibility
Fauna’s JSON documents naturally map to application objects, simplifying developer reasoning and accelerating velocity. Native joins across these documents enable greater flexibility, supporting dynamic workloads with native relational capabilities.
Powerful Relational Querying
A TypeScript-inspired language is intuitive and easy to adopt, while offering the full power of sophisticated relational queries, ACID transactions, and advanced indexing.
Flexible & Enforceable Schema
Progressive schema enforcement, zero-downtime migrations, and Schema as Code allows you to introduce schema changes gradually and online, ensuring agility and alignment with modern CI/CD practices as your app evolves.

ops eliminated compared to
MySQL use case
Since Fauna documents do not have to follow a specific schema, we are able to save time and effort -- but we still can leverage Fauna's relational capabilities. It's the best of both worlds.
Artur Tomusiak
Fauna is an excellent fit for our use case because it supports the disparate data we’re generating with its document model, but we can still execute sophisticated operations on top of it. The fact that it's fully serverless allows us to focus on our business, and its distributed architecture allows us to keep latency low and helps us deliver a great experience to our customers.

Scale Smarter
Eliminate the complexity of infrastructure management as you scale. Fauna’s unique multi-active engine ensures strong consistency, low latency, & high availability across availability zones or regions.
Automatic Multi-Active Replication
Automatic multi-active reads and writes across three regions, with intelligent routing to the nearest available region, ensure high availability and low latency without sharding or partition management.
Distributed Strong Consistency
A Calvin-inspired distributed transaction engine delivers strict serializability, the highest level of distributed strong consistency, without latency or cost trade-offs.
Data Compliance
Region Groups define geographic boundaries for your data out-of-the-box, ensuring compliance with data residency and global regulatory requirements like GDPR.
30-80MS
Global latency
Fauna and Fastly have been instrumental in our ability to test and release features quickly, while enabling us to deliver ultra-low latency because they are both fully distributed and API-driven.

Enforce Security and Compliance
Fauna’s Zero-Trust security model offers secure, real-time data access with flexible permissions and native database multi-tenancy. Fulfill modern security and data privacy needs without the traditional overhead.
Stateless Authentication & Connectivity
Delivered as an HTTPS API, Fauna offers token-based authentication and eliminates connection pooling or session management. Benefit from simplified connectivity, enabling direct access and faster, more scalable applications.
Dynamic ABAC & RBAC
Introduce dynamic Attribute-Based Access Control or static Role-Based Access Control according to business context. Permissions can be evaluated per query, based on user attributes, environmental factors, and data context – increasing security and reducing blast radius.
Native Multi-Tenancy & Data Isolation
A native parent-child database hierarchy allows you to manage and scale multiple, isolated environments seamlessly. Each tenant can be contained within logical databases, providing clear boundaries for security and data separation.
Fauna simplifies data access controls directly on the database, so there’s both added security and minimal engineering required to manage it. Because Fauna exposes these services as flexible APIs; we can easily and quickly integrate those API into any automated deployment tools.
