Fauna is a cloud-based NoSQL database that allows developers to create secure databases using Go. The series of videos will guide users through the process of creating a secure database-specific client, creating a first-class user, and exploring various data objects in the Fauna data model. The goal is to provide hands-on experience with Fauna's features and capabilities, including its globally distributed systems and serverless database architecture. Fauna offers development tips, tricks, and learning materials through its newsletter, and it also has job openings for individuals interested in working on related projects.
