Advice on Couchbase, Fauna
Detailed Comparison
Developed as an alternative to traditionally inflexible SQL databases, the Couchbase NoSQL database is built on an open source foundation and architected to help developers solve real-world problems and meet high scalability demands. | Escape the boundaries imposed by legacy databases with a data API that is simple to adopt, highly productive to use, and offers the capabilities that your business needs, without the operational pain typically associated with databases. |
JSON document database; N1QL (SQL-like query language); Secondary Indexing; Full-Text Indexing; Eventing/Triggers; Real-Time Analytics; Mobile Synchronization for offline support; Autonomous Operator for Kubernetes and OpenShift | Native support for GraphQL and others. Easily access any data with any API. No middleware necessary.;
Access all data via a data model that best suits your needs - relational, document, graph or composite.;
A unique approach to indexing makes it simpler to write efficient queries that scale with your application.;
Build SaaS apps more easily with native multi-tenancy and query-level QoS controls to prevent workload collisions.;
Eliminate data anomalies with multi-region ACID transactions that don't limit number of keys or documents.;
Data-driven RBAC that combines with SSL to offers reliable protection, and yet is simple to understand and codify.;
Travel back in time with temporal querying. Run queries at a point-in-time or as change feeds. Track how your data evolved.;
Dynamically replicates your data to global locations, so that your queries run fast no matter where your users are.;
Easily deploy a FaunaDB cluster on your workstation accompanied by a powerful shell and tools to simplify your workflow.;

What are some alternatives to Couchbase, Fauna?
MongoDB
MongoDB stores data in JSON-like documents that can vary in structure, offering a dynamic, flexible schema. MongoDB was also designed for high availability and scalability, with built-in replication and auto-sharding.
MySQL
The MySQL software delivers a very fast, multi-threaded, multi-user, and robust SQL (Structured Query Language) database server. MySQL Server is intended for mission-critical, heavy-load production systems as well as for embedding into mass-deployed software.
PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions.
Microsoft SQL Server
Microsoft® SQL Server is a database management and analysis system for e-commerce, line-of-business, and data warehousing solutions.
SQLite
SQLite is an embedded SQL database engine. Unlike most other SQL databases, SQLite does not have a separate server process. SQLite reads and writes directly to ordinary disk files. A complete SQL database with multiple tables, indices, triggers, and views, is contained in a single disk file.
Cassandra
Partitioning means that Cassandra can distribute your data across multiple machines in an application-transparent matter. Cassandra will automatically repartition as machines are added and removed from the cluster. Row store means that like relational databases, Cassandra organizes data by rows and columns. The Cassandra Query Language (CQL) is a close relative of SQL.
Memcached
Memcached is an in-memory key-value store for small chunks of arbitrary data (strings, objects) from results of database calls, API calls, or page rendering.
MariaDB
Started by core members of the original MySQL team, MariaDB actively works with outside developers to deliver the most featureful, stable, and sanely licensed open SQL server in the industry. MariaDB is designed as a drop-in replacement of MySQL(R) with more features, new storage engines, fewer bugs, and better performance.
RethinkDB
RethinkDB is built to store JSON documents, and scale to multiple machines with very little effort. It has a pleasant query language that supports really useful queries like table joins and group by, and is easy to setup and learn.
ArangoDB
A distributed free and open-source database with a flexible data model for documents, graphs, and key-values. Build high performance applications using a convenient SQL-like query language or JavaScript extensions.
