Prometheus vs. Fauna

Prometheus is an open-source systems monitoring and alerting toolkit designed for reliability and scalability. It collects and stores metrics as time series data, enabling real-time monitoring of applications, systems, and services. With its powerful query language, PromQL, users can analyze and visualize data effectively. Prometheus operates independently, requiring no external dependencies, and integrates seamlessly with various service discovery mechanisms, making it ideal for dynamic environments.

Fauna is a truly serverless operational database that empowers teams to ship applications faster. It combines the flexibility of a document model with the strong consistency and rich querying power of relational systems—all built on a serverless, distributed architecture that scales automatically, without the complexity of manual provisioning, sharding, or replication. Over 80,000 development teams choose Fauna to build and scale modern transactional applications including teams from Tyson Foods, Unilever, Lexmark, Intelliculture, Hannon Hill, Cloaked, DTLR, and Insights.gg.
