A quick video on simple delete operations in Fauna with Fauna Query Language. Including traversing actual relationships in a JSON document to delete related documents, too.

A quick video about update operations in Fauna using Fauna Query Language. These are just simple CRUD operations, but you can get fairly complex with this full-fledged query language. You can even put FQL into server-side functions, aka stored procedures.

100% agree with Eric. To add something though, #1 is key, but also realize most of us are mere mortals and cannot know every last little detail at all times...and that's ok! Most people would much rather you say, "I am not sure, but send me an email, and I will do my best to

This is a big deal. Even more features you're used to with traditional databases, but with the performance and scalability of NoSQL. The hybrid NoSQL+Relational data modeling and schema capabilities, as well as the long-term vision for Fauna's database, are the #1 reason I came

On this day 35 years ago, one of the best albums of all time was released. "The Stone Roses" by The Stone Roses. If you have never heard of this album or never listened to it much, I highly recommend checking it out. Check out the US release, as it has 2 extra tracks.

I have been digging deep into Fauna's security over the last few weeks, and there's a LOT to love here. It is so much smoother than most #NoSQL databases I've worked on and certainly more fine-grained. We're doing a webinar on Fauna security in a few weeks! Join us to learn how

Getting even more into Fauna's database security. In this video, I go over how to set up a simple authentication/authorization system you can use with users, APIs, etc. and it's built into Fauna. For more information on this see: Create a sign-in function -

The word "recalcitrant" is not used often enough in this day and age. It's such a cool-sounding word that sounds both nasty and interesting simultaneously.

Hey Dropbox, I am leaving you. I have been a long time customer, but this is ending. It's you, not me. You've gotten too expensive for what I need. I do not need 2TB of storage and a ton of other features I do not use. Therefore, I am sorry to tell you that unless you can soon

A modern book needs to be written and started with the following line: "It was not the best of times, it was not the worst of times..."

Now I no longer can say, "I hate the term schemaless" when it comes to NoSQL databases. Now I can start schemaless, but then add in controls and enforcement as I develop my app or as requirements/functionality change. I can apply these controls as needed via gradual typing of my

Let's discuss the essential building blocks of Fauna and how they relate: databases, collections, indexes, schema, documents, and more! In this video, I cover all of these and what you need to know to get started quicker.

This is an interesting thread to read. Perhaps it is my nature, but I think this shift will be far more radical than many people think. The tools will be dramatically better in the next 3-5 years. And it is not just software developers who will be affected. This shift with AI
