| Hi everyone, First, thanks for all the interest, it’s quite sudden and unexpected. Actually, LowDB is an extract from JSON Server, a mocking REST server based on plain JSON (https://github.com/typicode/json-server). So, basically, it's not meant to be used in critical / intensive applications. Instead, it's much more a new convenient way to store data in simple use cases. Regarding file writing, if your database is small or if you don't run a cluster of Node processes, you should be fine. Regarding benchmark, as someone pointed it out, it’s mainly to show that storing to JSON file is fast enough and to compare operations speed. I agree that it says nothing about other databases and LowDB doesn't try to be the fastest either, just fast enough.
By the way, 'npm run benchmark' lets you run it on your machine. However, keep in mind too that LowDB official release is quite recent so it should be improved over time. Anyway, thanks for all the feedbacks and I hope you’ll have fun with it :) |
