Automated Fauna Database Usage Quota Alerts
Every Monday, WebRun opens the Fauna dashboard, reads each database's read, write, and storage usage against its plan quota, logs the numbers to an Airtable tracker, and emails the engineering team a warning over Gmail whenever usage is approaching the plan limit.
How do I get warned before hitting my Fauna usage quota?
WebRun checks every Fauna database's read, write, and storage usage against its plan quota every Monday, logs the numbers to an Airtable tracker, and emails engineering a warning over Gmail whenever usage is approaching the limit. Backend teams catch a looming quota before an application starts throttling requests in production.
- A looming quota is flagged before it throttles an application
- A full usage history builds up in Airtable automatically
- Comfortable usage stays a quiet, routine log entry
Built for backend engineering teams · platform engineers · startup engineering teams

Questions, answered
Does WebRun upgrade the plan automatically?
No. It only reads usage against your current quota and warns you. Upgrading a plan stays a deliberate, billed decision you make.
What counts as approaching quota?
Whatever percentage of plan usage you set as the warning line. Comfortable usage levels are just logged, not emailed.
Does the email go outside engineering?
No. It only goes to the internal engineering distribution list you set up.
