Can the underlying database still decide over success or failure of your app? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the hard work of FaunaDB's developers very much and scalability is a big thing when you address users worldwide. But the products that resulted from the NoSQL movement in combination with traditional databases already allow optimising your app's architecture for worldwide consumption, so even if FaunaDB was perfect it pushes the previous possibilities only a little notch up. I don't believe this is enough to become "the next big thing".
