Turn Data into an API with FaunaDB and GraphQL

Will fauna stay closed sourced? or is there a chance it will become a PostgreSQL/mysql/... competitor.
I like the idea of the db. I have a future project for which I'd need something that's distributed and can handle a lot. I'd love to pay for my own db but my clients might also run there own local db with my opensource client. Forcing these clients is not the way I want to go. I could use PostgreSQL at the clients and fauna for me, but that will probably give more pains than gains.

FaunaDB Serverless Cloud only bills for actual usage. So it's probably comparable in price to a standalone Postgres instance for the kinds of traffic and usage you're talking about in development.
The plan is to make using cloud so easy that there's very little pressure to run your own instances. We are also working on a free single-node Developer Edition to run on your workstations.

Any idea when this will be released?
We are especially looking for the kinds of early users and community members who'd like to collaborate on GraphQL support for FaunaDB. We have the engineering resources, but only you know which GraphQL uses cases you'd like to supercharge.
