NAAFQL?
Oh good, another here today, gone tomorrow option.
I think I'll stick with SQL.
Fauna, which offers a distributed document-relational database service, on Tuesday introduced a new version of its Fauna Query Language, promising a better developer experience with less database code. FQL is not to be confused with Microsoft's FAST Query Language, Postman's Flows Query Language, Falcon Query Language, …
Let's have a look at how FQL handles schrodinger's database :
// Select title and published date of sci-fi books, ordered by title
Book.where(.genre == 'Scifi').order(.title) { title, publishDate }
Wow, a column list, a table name, a where clause and an order by clause : who needs SQL when you have something which is, erm, exactly like SQL!
Think I'll stick to using NoFQL databases myself.
How many people, now, “used to work at Twitter/Google/Amazon/etc”…
I don’t really see that as a credential, frankly. Well done on the paying users but I’m unconvinced what we need is another frigging DB.
Oh my god, you’ve automated indexes? Mind blowing.
How about instead of scaling “easily”, we aim for scaling “efficiently”? It’s not a selling point to say “if you want it to run faster, just throw some more money down the hole!! Look what we learned at Twitter, cool right?”
