No matter which stack you use, or where you’re deploying your app, Fauna gives you effortless, predictable global latency and reliable access to your data via APIs familiar to you. Unlike other cloud databases that are single region, eventually consistent or non-transactional, Fauna is global and strongly consistent. These latencies reflect the cost of data replication and enforcement of strong consistency.
