Uses FaunaDB for a DB designed for serverless architectures.
Rather than spending time figuring out the Functions concept in FaunaDB, I have chosen to let FaunaDB do it's automatic Mutations, and then I will guard calls to FaunaDB inside /api/db/* routes to add any extra logic that I want.
This also acts as a buffer between be and FaunaDB if I want to change my database behind the scenes.
I construct my initial FaunaDB collections and shape by importing a graphql schema definition.
The schema provided to FaunaDB can be see here.
The Typescript types can be seen here.
