One click deploy Fauna with Next.js apps on Vercel
You can now deploy your Next.js apps on Vercel using Fauna with a single click. Vercel is a serverless platform for static applications and frontend frameworks, providing a frictionless developer experience to take care of the hard things: deploying, scaling and serving apps. Fauna is serverless and connectionless, so you don’t need to worry about connection limits in your apps on the client or server side.
Building decentralized apps w/ Ethereum, Polygon and Fauna
As blockchain technology evolves, new data architectures are emerging to improve application performance. Fauna’s built-in GraphQL support, attribute-based access control (ABAC), and advanced indexing are making it a popular choice for off-chain data storage in decentralized applications (dApps). Learn how blockchain innovators such as DIGITALAX and Acoer use Fauna alongside Ethereum, Polygon (side-chain), and The Graph to quickly push new ideas to production.
Sample apps to improve your Fauna skills!
We created a series of sample applications with varying levels of complexity to help you on-board and accelerate your mastery of Fauna. We have beginner apps for new users, intermediate apps for users who are looking for complex real-world examples, and an advanced sample app that dives into powerful Fauna features like authentication, transactions, and advanced indexing.
Learn how to build with AWS and Fauna in the latest episode of Fauna live!
Tune in to our Twitch channel on Tuesdays at 9 AM PT/noon ET to learn how to build with Fauna! Previously we demonstrated how to build in AWS with Fauna. Check out previous episodes for more on implementing migration patterns using user-defined functions (UDFs) and special considerations for GraphQL migrations!
Building Fauna’s GDPR-compliant database infrastructure with Pulumi
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) have become a requirement for Fauna customers. To enable our customers to more easily meet those requirements and lay a foundation that would allow Fauna to serve customers across the globe, we introduced Region Groups. Region Groups allows our customers to keep their data resident to a specific geography, without sacrificing the benefits of distributed data. There was a lot of behind the scenes work by Fauna’s Engineering team to ensure that when we deployed Region Groups it would be repeatable, scalable, efficient and maintainable.
