Fauna, a cloud-based NoSQL database, can be integrated with the Serverless Framework as infrastructure as code (IaC), reducing risks associated with manual provisioning of infrastructures and improving the efficiency of software development lifecycles. To get started, install the Fauna Serverless Framework plugin and configure it in your serverless.yml file. This allows developers to script once and reuse their code multiple times, saving time and effort while maintaining control over infrastructure provisioning. By using IaC with Fauna, engineers can create self-documenting infrastructure and reduce administrative overhead, focusing on new feature development instead.
