Learn how FaunaDB's FQL enables atomic multi-document transactions by moving logic server-side, with a worked fund-transfer example and indexing trade-offs.
Learn how FaunaDB’s RBAC lets you lock down tenant data with minimal code. The post walks through a practical example, highlights performance trade‑offs, and gives a clear checklist for secure deployment.
FaunaDB indexes let you turn slow, full‑scan lookups into lightning‑fast queries. This guide walks through creating a users‑by‑email index, shows a concrete FQL example, and discusses trade‑offs like storage overhead and write latency.
Learn how to implement stable, high-performance pagination in FaunaDB using FQL cursors to avoid the data drifting and performance degradation associated with numeric offsets.
Deciding between FQL and GraphQL in FaunaDB depends on whether you need atomic server-side logic or optimized frontend payloads. This guide compares performance, transactionality, and implementation.
Use FaunaDB transactions only when you need atomic updates across multiple documents. This guide compares single writes and transactions, explains constraints, trade‑offs, and shows a concrete FQL example with validation steps.
After applying a FaunaDB schema migration as part of a cluster upgrade, the migration job reported a failure and stopped. Some nodes appear to have received the new schema version while others remain at the previous version, leaving the cluster in a mixed state. The goal is to determine whether the cluster can be brought back to a consistent condition withou
Goal We are moving our FaunaDB write path from manual client-side retry loops to driver-level retries combined with conditional FQL writes, and we need to prevent duplicate documents when a commit succeeds but the response is lost. Context and constraints Our collections are written from multiple regions, so we cannot rely on client-side timestamps for dedup
FaunaDB implements least-privilege access through Role documents that define specific permissions for collections and indexes. While short-lived session tokens issued via Identity support configurable TTLs, standard server, database, and collection-scoped API keys are persistent by default. The current security model lacks a native mechanism to enforce autom
