So is dumping to /dev/null. A trustworthy database needs a lot more than being fast, unfortunately.

- tobiemh 4y agoHi phailhaus, good point. We don't want to go for speed (for instance by writing to /dev/null) at any cost, but want SurrealDB to be a reliable and performant backend for any application in the long run. Obviously in our opinion, writing to /dev/null wouldn't make SurrealDB a proper database :) . We have a way to go to catch up with databases like PostgreSQL and other databases in terms of stability and performance, but we will strive to get there!

- tobiemh 4y agoLol. Unfortunately only /dev/null is truly web scale :) !
- petepete 4y agoDon't make me start using sarcasm tags. Sigh.
- edgyquant 4y agoYep especially considering the motto is always databases are slow. Of course they shouldn’t be unusable but the database isn’t meant to be your clients data model
