Not super familiar with Fauna as a company... not sure "random" applies, but I generally think the same way. If a provider can offer something that adds real value over alternatives, though, it's not a bad decision to go external.

However, never rely on an external provider if there's not a low-risk offramp plan. Can I export all of my data and easily migrate, worst case scenario? Are there open source options using the same or similar formats/workflows/etc? Is the format itself proprietary or lock me in otherwise? Those sorts of questions need to be figured out fully before jumping aboard.
