Interesting to see new DBs cropping up! I think there is much to improve over the choices popular today.
However, it's difficult to quickly grasp what makes Fauna unique. A comparison with e.g. CockroachDB would be nice!
A good example of doing this well is RethinkDB, that provided two comparisons with MongoDB (one biased, one unbiased).
1. Technical comparison (unbiased):
https://rethinkdb.com/docs/comparison-tables/ https://rethinkdb.com/docs/comparison-tables/
2. Personal comparison (biased):
https://rethinkdb.com/docs/rethinkdb-vs-mongodb/ https://rethinkdb.com/docs/rethinkdb-vs-mongodb/
Consul (not a DB though) also has these comparisons:

- dhruvgupta 8y agoSome conversation on CockroachDB vs FaunaDB here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16878102 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16878102 The primary difference is in the interface (SQL vs NoSQL), the transactional protocol, and capabilities such as built-in multi-tenancy, temporality.. Might be useful to note that GV invested in both (Fauna was after Cockroach).
