A RedMonk Conversation: Why the future of serverless databases is distributed document-relational

We recently spoke to Fauna about what the company is seeing in terms of flexible database services for modern application development, and why it’s calling its approach Document-relational.

Managed databases are becoming ever more sophisticated, and relational databases are undergoing a renaissance. GraphQL, Data Governance, ACID compliance with schema flexibility – are becoming table stakes.
