Build and Deploy a GraphQL API to the Edge with Fauna — Part 2

Fauna is perfect for creating databases and databases inside of databases where you require multi-tenant support for building and scaling applications.

We'll be using a single database in this guide as well as the UI for creating a database and collection but everything you see below can be done using Fauna's FQL syntax.

You'll need to sign up for a Fauna account, create a database, a products collection, and obtain an API key.

1. Sign up for a Fauna account

2. Create a new database

   

3. Create a product collection

   

4. Create a database key (Security > Database Keys > New Key)

   

5. Copy the key

   

6. Add the key to grafbase/.env:

    FAUNA_SECRET=
   

That's it! We have a Fauna database and collection we can now connect to from inside Grafbase Resolvers. We'll do that next.
