FoundationDB vs FaunaDB: What are the differences?

Developers describe FoundationDB as "Multi-model database with particularly strong fault tolerance, performance, and operational ease". FoundationDB is a NoSQL database with a shared nothing architecture. Designed around a "core" ordered key-value database, additional features and data models are supplied in layers. The key-value database, as well as all layers, supports full, cross-key and cross-server ACID transactions. On the other hand, FaunaDB is detailed as "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.

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

Some of the features offered by FoundationDB are:

• Multiple data models
• Full, multi-key ACID transactions
• No locking

On the other hand, FaunaDB provides the following key features:

• 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.
