They work. You are supposed to run them at noon but I run them during breakfast and then it's easy to give the kids an early bedtime.

We call it serverless because it fits the serverless model like a glove. You wouldn't fault Amazon for calling Lambda serverless...

That's the American right propaganda sinking in. Times of higher tax burden have been economically more productive. It's already the government's money. Redistributive taxation is parsimonious use of funds. Great chart in her

The big difference is that we use a logical clock and batches of operations so that we aren't dependent on atomic clocks. We also have a different API style, and plan to run on all the major cloud providers. You'll be able to do c

Event push / feeds are on the roadmap. Currently we have everything implemented at the data model level to do live query feeds, you just have to do polling until we ship the feature. I'm working on a follow up example to this CRUD

Yes that is the model. Each region has a full copy of the data and has its own internal replication factor. The customer can select which cloud regions and providers to replicate to, and pay accordingly. So you will be able to choose how ma

We allow you to make different writes depending on reads. The query language has loop and control flow structures, so you can push a lot of the logic to the database. You can read more about the query language here: https://fauna

No, this is not made OF serverless, it's made FOR serverless. We run on big nodes in the same cloud as your app.

The node that receives the query figures out which nodes it needs to talk to for an answer, and then it adds the operations to the next batch for those nodes. The batch dispatches, the nodes do their work, the batch commits, and the client

That's why it comes down to the details and the fit and finish. One neat feature is the ability to run Lambdas with a database access token corresponding to a particular user, which can then be passed through to sub-Lambdas (or it can

This is a database FOR serverless style applications. It runs on servers like most databases, it's not made out of lambdas. But it's built so you don't have to worry about the details. When a traffic spike hits your app we&#x
