You can set up a Fauna account in just four minutes, creating a database and writing values to it. To start, sign up for an account, log in, and access the dashboard to create a new database, which can be nested within other databases. An access key is required for every interaction with the database, and you can manage these keys through the dashboard or programmatically. You can also create classes, which are analogous to tables in SQL, to store data, and instances of these classes to store individual records. With Fauna's flexible data structure and intuitive interface, you're ready to start managing your data.
