FaunaDB

Fauna uses Fauna Query Language, or FQL, a TypeScript-inspired language for reading and writing documents rather than standard SQL. The official documentation describes FQL as statically typed and designed to keep query logic close to application code. [Fauna FQL documentation](https://docs.fauna.com/fauna/current/reference/fql/)

Fauna's documentation says every query runs as a transaction in a single database, with transactional behavior intended for consistent reads and writes. That is useful for web apps that need more than separate best-effort requests. [Fauna Core API documentation](https://docs.faunadb.org/fauna/current/reference/http/reference/core-api/)

You create event sources and consume them through event feeds or event streams, with streams pushing changes over an open connection. Fauna lists chat apps, real-time dashboards, and multiplayer games as example uses. [Fauna event streams documentation](https://docs.faunadb.org/fauna/current/reference/fql-api/event-source/)

Fauna presents itself as a serverless database that combines document flexibility with native relational capabilities. Its documentation also describes multi-active replication and HTTPS access for distributed web applications. [Fauna overview](https://docs.fauna.com/fauna/current/get-started/overview/)
