Ask HN: Casual/Easy Hosted Database?
I like to use Heroku for hobby web servers, but those are ephemeral (disk gets cleared on deploy)
I'd like to pair it with the cheapest, simplest managed persistence I can get. No real requirements around performance or scaling, don't really care what DB it is; I'd use JSON files or SQLite if I had a persistent file system. I don't want to mess with any more configuration than necessary, I just want a place to put data where it won't disappear on me.
Any suggestions?
- gigatexal 5y agoCockroachDB (Postgres-ish) and PlanetScaleDB (MySQL) come to mind. They have very generous free forever tiers.
- andriyo 5y agoHave a look on Cloudflare Workers. They have KV storage. Also it's a good severless approach working on the edge.
- brundolf 5y agoI've thought about looking at those at some point, but it would be a paradigm-shift from my comfort zone for just getting code up on the internet (an Express server), and I don't care about performance for the kind of project I'm talking about. So that's better suited to a "learning project" than a playing/prototyping project for now
