Description

FaunaDB provides a web-native interface, with support for GraphQL and custom business logic that integrates seamlessly with the rest of the serverless ecosystem. The underlying globally distributed storage and compute platform is fast, consistent, and reliable, with a modern security infrastructure.

RDBMS with a small footprint, either embedded into an application or used as a database server

In-memory data structure store, used as database, cache and message broker

Redis focuses on performance so most of its design decisions prioritize high performance and very low latencies.
