When you setup the Fauna Add-on for Netlify, a Netlify-specific database is created in Fauna, an access token is created and stored in a private environment variable (the Netlify UI never displays it), and the JavaScript driver is installed. Everything you need to get started building a Netlify function that uses Fauna for persistent data storage.
