Ask HN: Is there a list of all the embeddable databases?
The first time I heard of the idea of embedding an entire database inside a compiled binary is when Colin Steele did it, 10 years ago, when he was CTO at Hotelicopter:
https://www.colinsteele.org/blog/against-the-grain
https://www.colinsteele.org/blog/60000-growth-in-7-months-using-clojure-and-aws
They used Solr.
Since then, I've heard of several projects where SQLite is used this way.
I believe there are other databases being used this way? ArticDB is used this way. Perhaps sometimes DuckDB, or at least it aims to facilitate that design pattern.
Can anyone point me to a list of all data stores that can be embedded inside of a compiled binary?
- r0n22 4y agoNot a list but you can add h2 database for java. Works really well.
