FaunaDB System Properties

Document-relational interface: combines flexibility in modeling with flexibility in querying

Native GraphQL, no middleware to install and manage

Distributed ACID transactions: single-phase algorithm maximizes throughput and minimizes latency

High security: row-level identity, authentication, and access control protects against application error and transport encryption protects against adversaries

Horizontal scalability: scale from a single machine to multiple datacenters on commodity and cloud infrastructure with no downtime

High availability: redundant, self-healing clustering reacts to machine, datacenter, and network failures in milliseconds with no loss of liveness or durability

Temporality: manage data retention and run queries on historical data at any point-in-time or as change feeds

Multi-tenancy: operate a shared services environment safely with dynamic quality-of-service management and chargeback consumption to LoBs

Operational simplicity: self-driving cluster management does what you mean every time
