After seeing the following Tweet by Fauna inviting users to take part in the Write With Fauna challenge i decided iā€™d submit a proposal post topic.

For those not in the know Fauna is a backend database solutionā€¦ and itā€™s so awesome! Iā€™m very much the Front End of Front End development and usually donā€™t care for backend services, thatā€™s usually something for the mega dweebs to on. šŸ˜²

butā€¦

After i read the Fauna docs i was amazed at how simple it was to understand. I believe itā€™s the perfect compliment for the Jamstack movement and when thinking about how to demonstrate itā€™s potential i focussed on how to combine Fauna with a Gatsby blog.

The post contains details of how to create a full stack Gatsby application and how to setup Fauna to act as a way to store and retrieve comments made by users on your blog posts.

Fauna agreed it would indeed make for an interesting post but after i submitted my first draft it was suggested that the post really ought to be published somewhere with a larger reach.

On May 21 2020 Fauna published my post to CSS Tricks. This is huge win for me as iā€™ve only been writing technical content for a short while.

If youā€™d like to read the full post you can find it here

Oh and hereā€™s the demo application: https://fauna-gatsby-comments.netlify.app/
