We were Fauna users for several years and invested a lot of time working with it and around it. The time travel capability was one of the stand out features for us in addition to FQL which opened some interesting capabilities. That being said for various reasons we had to transition away from it and did so by creating a FQL compatible solution on top of Postgres. It is implemented in JavaScript/TypeScript and runs in Postgres through the plv8 extension. Is this something that would be interesting to other current users?
Update: I created a placeholder repo on Github with some more information on what is currently supported. Please engage if this could help anyone https://github.com/eigilsagafos/fauna-postgres/issues/1
Thanks!
Sounds like it could be very useful to others. Make sure to post it to HN if you decide to publish the source
You are licensing it or? We would, especially after this type of thing, again, be looking for something open.
Would be open source for sure
I really think any help the community could offer - and also receive - would be welcome news for those still on Fauna service right now. Especially open source. People could move quickly – with multiple options – to help themselves, which after all is the only thing Fauna the co is able to offer anyway. Like the other commenter said, if you do release it open source please post on Hacker News and maybe Reddit and we'll all try to help boost it.
