Do I need a separate data warehouse for my Fauna data?

No. Definite includes a built-in lakehouse, so you don't need to pay for a separate warehouse like Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift. Your Fauna data syncs into open Parquet storage and is queried by a DuckDB-powered engine for high-performance analytics. Definite handles encrypted, persistent storage behind the scenes with enterprise-grade security, automatic syncing, and backups. You get lightning-fast queries, built-in business intelligence tools, and SOC 2 compliant security, all without the overhead or complexity of running a separate warehouse.

Can I analyze my Fauna data with other data sources?

Yes. Definite lets you connect and analyze data across all your tools: app databases, CRMs, marketing automation, analytics, and customer support platforms. Our built-in Sync Engine supports 500+ data sources, with options for daily, hourly, or near real-time syncs. You can select metrics and dimensions from your Fauna data alongside other sources to explore insights, build dashboards, and share results (no SQL needed, unless you want to). Or simply ask Fi, our AI analyst, to find answers, uncover patterns, and instantly create charts and reports for you.

Can Definite connect Fauna data to tools like Python, SQL, Google Sheets, or Slack?

Yes. Definite integrates seamlessly with the tools you already use. You can run Python scripts for advanced analysis, query your data directly with SQL, or sync results to Google Sheets and Slack for easy sharing. Data can be exported in CSV, Excel, or JSON, accessed via the Metrics API, or embedded directly into your product or internal dashboards. Definite makes it simple to connect, automate, and share insights wherever your team works.

How does Definite's AI actually work?

Definite includes Fi, our AI data analyst that understands your business data and speaks your language. Fi can explore your connected sources, write SQL, and build charts or dashboards in minutes, turning plain-English questions into real analysis. Under the hood, Fi uses Definite's semantic models and query engine to interpret context, generate accurate queries, and explain results clearly. The result: faster insights, fewer bottlenecks, and analytics that finally deliver ROI.

Can I use Definite for free?

Yes. Definite offers a free plan for qualifying startups that includes core analytics, dashboards, and AI insights: everything you need to get started. You can upgrade anytime for more data sources, faster syncs, and advanced automations.

Definite runs as a private deployment in your own cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure, or anywhere with Kubernetes); you keep control of data, compute, and networking. Request a demo →

§ What you get

Everything Fauna exposes, modeled and queryable.

Fauna is a serverless document-relational database accessed via API. The connector syncs documents from a user-specified collection as a single configurable stream, so the data it provides is whatever application records the team stores in Fauna rather than a fixed schema.

Tables & streams

◆Collection Documents

The full set of documents from a chosen Fauna collection, each with a unique ref, last-modified timestamp (ts), and an arbitrary JSON data payload. This is the connector's single stream and carries whatever application records a team stores in Fauna — users, orders, content, events, or any custom entity — enabling analytics over the operational state of an application.

◆Document Change Events

Incremental change records derived from Fauna's index over the ts field, capturing documents modified since the last sync. Powers freshness analyses, change-over-time tracking, and keeping a warehouse copy of application data current.

◆Document Deletion Events

Deletion records produced from Fauna's events API when deletion mode is enabled, marking documents with a "deleted at" timestamp. Lets downstream models reconcile removed records and maintain accurate point-in-time and lifecycle reporting on application entities.
