Moving Beyond the Limits of MongoDB with Fauna
Selecting an appropriate database is crucial for the success of every engineering team, as the right choice can lead to improved business outcomes. MongoDB, while offering flexibility and scalability, has significant limitations in its operational model, support for relationships, schema enforcement, security, and data consistency profile. Rather than reverting to traditional Relational Databases when looking for an alternative to MongoDB, Fauna’s document relational database is a move forwards, not backwards, and is more suitable for today’s application needs.
Fauna excels in providing robust relationships and joins, the ability to dial-in and dial-out schema enforcement over time, a modern security model, and the strongest level of consistency. This combination ensures that developers can build applications that are both flexible and reliable, meeting the demands of internet-scale applications while maintaining data integrity and security.
Ultimately, Fauna offers a solution that offers the advantages of both Document and Relational paradigms and has further innovated operationally, making it the ideal choice for developing and scaling modern applications efficiently and securely.
