Fauna — Free Tier for Startups

Deal Highlights

Fauna — Serverless Document-Relational Database

Fauna is a distributed database that combines document flexibility with relational capabilities — queries, joins, indexes, and ACID transactions across globally distributed data. Designed for serverless architectures, Fauna scales automatically with zero infrastructure management.

Document Meets Relational

Most databases force you to choose: document (MongoDB) or relational (PostgreSQL). Fauna provides document storage with relational queries — store flexible JSON documents while joining and querying across collections with the power of SQL.

Serverless Architecture

No servers to provision, no connection pools to manage, no scaling to configure. Fauna operates as an API — send queries, get results. Perfect for serverless functions (Lambda, Vercel, Cloudflare Workers) where traditional databases create connection management headaches.

Global Distribution

Data replicates across multiple regions automatically. Reads and writes are served from the nearest region with strong consistency guarantees — not eventual consistency.

Fauna vs MongoDB

MongoDB is document-only without native joins. Fauna adds relational capabilities to document storage. MongoDB requires cluster management. Fauna is fully managed.
