Argues that a globally consistent, scalable database reshapes microservice choices by restoring single-database options and shifting complexity from engineers back into the data tier. Demonstrates Fauna with FQL user-defined functions, temporality and time-based migrations, optimistic concurrency for hot documents, and push-based CDC to Rockset for analytics. Shows composition of functions to isolate team APIs, a counter-sharding pattern to avoid write contention, and notes cross-database transactions are desirable but not yet implemented. Practical demos mostly work; some features remain requests.
