DApps are decentralized applications that run on peer-to-peer (P2P) networks like blockchains. The decentralized nature means that no one entity (including a person) has control of the network and is perfect for use cases where multiple untrusted or anonymous parties need to transact.
In our first article, we got our first taste of Fauna relational modeling using the data model for a DVD rental business (adapted from a popular Postgres tutorial). In this chapter, we’ll continue adapting this borrowed data model to learn how Fauna can query many-to-many collections in a normalized fashion.

PostgreSQL (AKA Postgres) is one of the finest relational database management systems ever created. However, the Postgres we know and love is a client-server database that requires operational setup and maintenance to keep your instance or cluster available at all times, and does not scale easily to the modern Internet.

Today we’re going to take a look into Fauna’s new streaming feature by building a small chat using Svelte.
Today we’ll be building a small API to see a quick overview on how to use Fauna in Node.js.
For reference, here’s a Github repository with the finished project that you can use to follow along: https://github.com/PierBover/getting-started-fauna-nodejs
Any recent version of Node will do. If you don’t have it installed…
Fauna and DynamoDB are both serverless databases, but their design goals, architecture, and use cases are very different. …
It’s been a busy few months here at Fauna, and we’re very excited to share what we’ve been working on with you! Today, we released a slew of new capabilities to help Fauna developers collaborate more efficiently on shared databases, secure their accounts with multi-factor authentication, secure their applications with…
Real-time application features have silently become omnipresent in our everyday life in the form of instant messaging, real-time statistic updates, or collaborative editing. …
In the previous part of this tutorial, we set up a Single Page Application (SPA) that authenticates with Auth0 and uses the Auth0 access token to connect with Fauna. Until now, we received access to the whole ‘dinosaurs’ collection when we logged in, regardless of the identity or type of…
Offering users alternative ways to authenticate, such as social login, is valuable for both the end-user and for you the developer since it has the potential to reduce the amount of support cases around lost passwords or blocked accounts.
Although you could implement these flows on top of Fauna, it’ll…
