Fauna is a new type of data system designed to be adaptive, scalable, and flexible for any size, workload, or operating environment. Created by the team that previously worked on Twitter's backend infrastructure, Fauna aims to solve the fundamental computer science problem of scalability limitations in software infrastructure. The company emerged from stealth with its seed round funding and is now available in managed beta in various deployment options. Fauna is a transactional, temporal, geographically distributed, strongly consistent, secure, multi-tenant operational database that supports diverse applications and teams within a unified data infrastructure, much like a rainforest ecosystem.
