This is really nice. In our experience, databases are still a huge hurdle for running stateful multicloud deployments. As we try to simplify multicloud container deployment, global replication and multi-region support are going to come in handy. I’m really excited to start dev’ing against this release, and hope to have a containerized version of FaunaDB available via Containership soon. I’d be interested to gauge interest in a containerized FaunaDB among the broader dev community, since to me it seems like a perfect match.
We are glad you like the model. This is exactly what the preview release is intended for. Our Enterprise Edition will truly fulfill the promise, because nothing goes with containerized deployments like globally distributed consistency.
FaunaDB Developer Edition preview is a single-node, plug-and-play version of FaunaDB. Ideal for local development and testing.
