swc-node VS faunadb-js

swc-node is much faster. No typechecking but you can have that running as a separate process with typescript in watch mode. Basically never have to wait for compiles or typechecking checking then.

fwiw swc has an official loader: https://github.com/swc-project/swc-node

I actually just switched my team's app over to use https://github.com/Brooooooklyn/swc-node for our Jest tests, but if we're going to upgrade to Next 12 it'd be nice to reuse whatever's included there.

I actually upgraded my team's Jest config to use https://github.com/Brooooooklyn/swc-node a few weeks ago. However, our Jenkins CI agents run RHEL7, and neither of the Linux binary targets would run. The `x64-gnu` binary needed a `GLIBC_2_23` symbol when only 2.18 was available, and the `x64-musl` binary had no `musl-libc` on the machine. I don't own the Jenkins agents, so I couldn't install other deps myself.

I ended up building `musl-libc` from source on another RHEL7 agent, committed the `.so` to our repo, and added that to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` in our Jenkinsfile, and actually got that working.

I did see some mentions that Rust could build to target an older GLibc ( https://kobzol.github.io/rust/ci/2021/05/07/building-rust-bi... ), so I'm curious if Next is going to use copies of SWC built that way for better compat or if it will require more workarounds on my part.

I'm very curious if the Next SWC binaries

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:

Fauna[0] which if I recall correctly, also upends Cap Theorum. They implemented Calvin[1] which differs from Spanner

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.

To create a Faunadb account you need to head over to the Fauna website. Click on Start for free then select Github as your auth provider, and authorize Faunadb from GitHub. If everything went well, your account should successfully be created for you and you should be redirected to your Faunadb dashboard.

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.

Fauna – A serverless database with built in global replication and strong consistency.

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.

Multi-model: FaunaDB, MongoDB, Redis among others.
