Some conversation on CockroachDB vs FaunaDB here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16878102
The primary difference is in the interface (SQL vs NoSQL), the transactional protocol, and capabilities such as built-in multi-tenancy, temporality..
Might be useful to note that GV invested in both (Fauna was after Cockroach).
However, it's difficult to quickly grasp what makes Fauna unique. A comparison with e.g. CockroachDB would be nice!
A good example of doing this well is RethinkDB, that provided two comparisons with MongoDB (one biased, one unbiased).
1. Technical comparison (unbiased):
https://rethinkdb.com/docs/comparison-tables/
2. Personal comparison (biased):

Consul (not a DB though) also has these comparisons:
