I was wondering, quite unrelated to the article, if anyone knows if CockroachDB would be suited for small databases (and comparably modest computing/memory resources). I very much like its distributed properties, but only have a simple table of usernames and corresponding cryptographic material. Is CRDB easy to run and manage?
- tshannon 8y agoI would expect your use case would be better suited by use just using postgres. However if you do need to scale to the point where you'd need to distribute your database and take advantage of CRDB's capabilities, it uses the Postgres protocol, so you most likely can just migrate your data and use the same code.
- andreimatei1 8y agoWe have clients using CRDB in pretty constrained environments, and they use it primarily because of the easy administration. I think you'll find it easier to use than a MySQL or Postgres, for example.
- manigandham 8y agoSqlite would be my first recommendation, unless you need client/server access.
- yellowapple 8y agoI think the GP's stated need for replication would preclude SQLite unless one's willing to write one's own replication system.
- manigandham 8y agoWhere's the stated need for replication?
