Yes, database as a service. As early contributors to Cassandra before Datastax/Riptano was around...we are aware of it. :-)

Fair enough. :) But just FYI, reading that set off my BS alarm, and I was highly skeptical of the rest of your claims. You may want to clarify that so as not to turn off folks who are deeply familiar with the space.

Will keep this in mind. How would you prefer it to be described?

FaunaDB Serverless Cloud remains the only {hosted|SaaS} multi-master, globally-distributed cloud database?
I don't really like those either.
Just something that says "you don't have to set this up for yourself like Cassandra or Riak."
Although that reminds me that you can get a turnkey Riak setup, so your claim is still a bit dubious.
I now get what you're trying to say though. That you guys host a multi-master database, and with all your competitors, you have to run infrastructure. I'm not quite sure how to express that succinctly.

An attempt to clarify has been made. Thanks.
