About:
Fauna Shell is a command-line interface (CLI) tool that provides an interactive environment for executing FQL (Fauna Query Language) queries against Fauna databases. It allows developers to connect to their Fauna account, manage databases, and perform administrative tasks directly from the terminal. This tool is essential for debugging, schema management, and rapid prototyping within the Fauna ecosystem.

Key Features:

Interactive FQL query execution
Database management and administration
Local configuration and context switching
Real-time feedback and result formatting

Use Cases:

Developing and testing FQL queries interactively
Managing database schemas and indexes via CLI
Automating database tasks in CI/CD pipelines

Alternatives:

Fauna Dashboard – The web-based Dashboard offers a graphical interface, while Fauna Shell provides a CLI-focused workflow for developers.
Custom HTTP Scripts – Direct HTTP requests require manual authentication and parsing, whereas Fauna Shell handles connection logic and query execution natively.
