The author should probably check FaunaDB which solves most of these pitfalls.
- jfengel 6y agoI found FaunaDB rather tricky to get started with. It doesn't seem to want to allow ad hoc queries without an index -- which is probably realistic for any production environment, but it makes the intial "hello, world" program harder than I expected it to be. It seemed like it would be good, once I got used to it. It's opinionated, and I like opinionated. But I switched to something else for my next project -- and discovered that FaunaDB was, at least, a heck of a lot easier than trying to set up a database on AWS, which was an entirely different nightmare.
- pier25 6y agoI struggled with FQL too and from what I've seen it's a common problem for most people getting into FaunaDB. After I got the hang of it I wrote a small introduction to FQL on Github [0]. Some people at Fauna liked that and I ended up writing a series of articles to help people get started with FQL [1].
