Wondering if faunadb support realtime, which is a big thing firebase supports?
I noticed faunadb support graphql but without subscription supported.
Sorry if this question is naive?

Fauna's event streaming employs an open, push-based streaming method to automatically stream real-time data updates to your clients when there is a change in your database.
Fauna transforms the traditional DBMS into a Data API that gives you all of the capabilities of an old-guard database, without sacrificing flexibility, scale, and performance. Fauna core functions are inspired by Calvin: a clock-less, strictly-serializable transactional protocol for multi-region environments.
Fauna is a distributed document-relational database delivered as a cloud API. Build new or migrate existing applications to Fauna and scale without worrying about operations. Sign up Documentation. Powering big ideas and modernization movements at enterprises across the globe.
Like DynamoDB, Fauna has metered pricing that scales with the resources your workload actually consumes. But unlike DynamoDB, you are not charged per low-level read and write operation, per replica, per index, because our base case is DynamoDB’s outlier case: the normalized, indexed data model, with the transactional, multi-region access pattern.
While Fauna provides an elegant command shell for the cloud DB, let’s start with the web console, which is the easiest way to jump in. Once you sign up, you’ll see the dashboard, which looks like this: To create a database, you’ll start by clicking New Database (pretty intuitive!).
Fauna gives you the platform to start locally, and launch globally. It delivers the performance, reliability and scale that your business needs for success, no matter where you are on your journey. The best of both document and relational systems ensures that you can model the data that your business needs, iteratively, and without boundaries.
Similar to operating system multithreading, Fauna is continuously scheduling, running, and pausing queries across all users of the service. Resource consumption is tracked and billed, and our team scales the capacity of each region in aggregate, not on a per-user basis.
Fauna doesn't as of Oct 2019 support streaming push updates. However, fauna does allow you to poll very cheaply the history of of documents, allowing for change feeds to be built. Streaming is being worked on and I imagine this answer will be edited in the not too distant future.
