Fauna is really cool technology, but I'll note that it lacks interactive transactions as a core design constraint. That does enable a bunch of nice things. However, that means users lose one of the most useful parts of transactional SQL -- simple, safe read/modify/writes.

The only way is to ship all of the "modify" logic into the database via FQL. Given how many times I've seen code that does this unsafely with SQL, probably safe to say that if the bar is raised to "rewrite the logic in a foreign query language" developers will opt for thoughts and prayers instead.
