OrientDB vs FaunaDB: What are the differences?

What is OrientDB? An open source NoSQL database management system. It is an open source NoSQL database management system written in Java. It is a Multi-model database, supporting graph, document, key/value, and object models, but the relationships are managed as in graph databases with direct connections between records.

What is FaunaDB? The database built for serverless, featuring native GraphQL. FaunaDB is a global serverless database that gives you ubiquitous, low latency access to app data, without sacrificing data correctness and scale. It eliminates layers of app code for manually handling data anomalies, security, and scale, creating a friendlier dev experience for you and better app experience for your users.

OrientDB and FaunaDB belong to "Databases" category of the tech stack.

Detailed Comparison

OrientDB	Fauna
It is an open source NoSQL database management system written in Java. It is a Multi-model database, supporting graph, document, key/value, and object models, but the relationships are managed as in graph databases with direct connections between records.	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.
-	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 OrientDB, 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.
