Thanks for answering. This means any application based on FaunaDB is locked forever with FaunaDB (because the query language is proprietary and the software is closed source)?

We see database migrations all the time in my line of work. Lock-in is rarely the main concern. Usually reliability, operability, and performance are what close deals. Even big enterprises regularly move between radically different architectures. Don't overestimate the cost of lock-in. But yes, you'd have a hard time duplicating FaunaDB's query capability with something else. We have bulk export tools coming soon, so you can take your data anywhere that accepts JSON.
