Summary

The FaunaDB Add-on for Netlify allows users to create a fully-featured, globally-distributed data backend for their applications within seconds. This integration enables users to instantly add FaunaDB to any JAMstack project running on Netlify and manage the database instance via FaunaDB Console. The add-on provides a serverless cloud database with a native GraphQL API, allowing users to avoid manual handling of data anomalies, security, and scale while embracing the "push once, deploy globally" paradigm pioneered by Netlify. With this integration, users can create databases within their site using simple commands, manage them directly using FaunaDB Console, and take advantage of Globally Distributed Data for a snappy user experience. The add-on also extends the productivity of the serverless experience to application data, eliminating database operations and providing a welcome abstraction for developers who don't wish to spend time and money managing servers.
