Zero-Cost Database Magic šŖš¾
Fauna is another serverless database created by ex-Twitter engineers. It's kind of like MongoDB, but with native JOIN operations, many document databases miss. They have their own language, FQL, and also a GraphQL API. Here's a quick overview of their free tier:

How to Choose the Right Document-Oriented NoSQL Database for Your Application
NoSQL is a term that we have become very familiar with in recent times and it is used to describe a set of databases that don't make use of SQL when writing & composing queries. There are loads of different types of NoSQL databases ranging from key-value databases like the Reddis to document-oriented databases like MongoDB and Firestore to graph databases like Neo4J to multi-paradigm databases like FaunaDB and Cassandra.

DynamoDB pain points: How to address them and exploring possible alternatives
If you are exploring Amazon DynamoDB alternatives that are NoSQL and have better-querying capabilities, there are a few to choose from, but the one I will be covering here is Fauna. Fauna combines the querying capabilities of relational databases (SQL databases) with the flexibility of NoSQL databases.

Modernizing from PostgreSQL to Serverless with Fauna Part 1 (2023 Update)
Some of the largest websites, driven by the requirements of serving billions of users, have led to the maturation of new database architecture alternatives, which motivate modernizing applications to leverage cloud-native, serverless, highly-distributed database options. Fauna strengthens relational data consistency among these newer alternatives while leveraging a cloud-native, serverless, flexible document model that abstracts most operational complexities from application developers.

React Server Components Example with Next.js
Another interesting point is that executing fetches on the server can allow developers to more easily leverage caching. Next.js already handles caching out-of-the-box and Iām curious to see if the wider adoption of RSC reduces the need to combine React with solutions like Apollo Server and Apollo Client. While there are other benefits to these tools, RSC could provide similar caching behavior without the need to invest in a GraphQL solution.

Who moved my error codes? Adding error types to your GoLang GraphQL Server
While working on this blog post, I learned that Apollo Server, the most popular GraphQL server for typescript, uses a similar method for adding error codes to GraphQL. It even lets you add custom errors. Hopefully, someday other GraphQL server projects will follow them. Until then, weāve got a strong indication we took the right approach.

How we migrated to Apollo Server 4
After some head-scratching, I opened an issue on Apollo Serverās GitHub repository. There, Apollo Server contributor @āglasser shared a helpful suggestion: why not invoke our AuthPlugin from Apollo Serverās context function? Throwing from context would ensure we can control the HTTP status response without having to introduce more methods and error checks to our AuthPlugin (like unexpectedErrorProcessingRequest). With that suggestion in mind, we rewrote our AuthPlugin as follows:
