I am super excited to announce that I am back working on databases! I have been watching the evolution of @fauna's #serverless database for a few years, and now is the right time. It's the database many of us wanted #NoSQL to be. It's as if NoSQL and a relational #database had a baby. Thus, why it's called a document-relational database. JSON documents, but with foreign key relationships, joins, and more. It even has a proper query language!!! So far, my favorite feature is one people have wanted for years in NoSQL database. It's not just replication between regions, that's common enough, but strongly consistent ACID transactions across regions!! Then there's the built-in document version history and multi-tenancy. The list goes on the more I learn. To say I am ecstatic is putting it lightly, and if you know me well enough, it takes a lot to get me genuinely excited about something.

Databases are the largest market in software at nearly $100B, growing 20%+ per year. Last year there was $20B of revenue "up for grabs" for modern players between market growth & rewritten apps. The winners will simply be bigger in this market. @jaminball @altcap

Of all factors that go into choosing a database, latency is the most difficult to reason about & impossible to engineer around. @TysonTrautmann shares his framework for thinking about latency & how databases compare: fauna.com/blog/real-world-da… #performance #latency #serverless

Replying to @sotak @KairoHQ
I am getting DMs from dev friends about the backend stack, so: it is #serverless - @Netlify for hosting, identity and functions, @fauna for DB, @stripe's customer portal for payments, @github for code. I have zero servers to manage and it scales. 🥳 Life is good. 😊

My thinking on serverless these days in order of consideration. - If the platform has it, use it - If the market has it, buy it - If you can reconsider requirements, do it - If you have to build it, own it

Just wrote my first @PulumiCorp dynamic resource for @fauna. This video and the Fauna cookbook helped greatly. youtube.com/watch?v=H4nehfvC… docs.fauna.com/fauna/current… I could basically replace the mockservice calls with fauna queries. Everything worked with the first run, crazy.🤯
