Ask HN: I am looking for a light-weight, fast database
What do you recommend?
- kghose 14y agoI've had good luck using sqlite3 for both a hobby project (a photo organizer http://github.com/kghose/Chhobi http://github.com/kghose/Chhobi) as well as for work (neural data analysis)
- ishbits 14y agoI've had good luck with SQlite as well, until I have multiple writers, or even concurrent readers or writers.
- dotmanish 14y agoWhat's the use case? Are you looking for mobile platform compatible database, or for web backends?
- jfaucett 14y agoIt depends on what you need. sqlite if you need SQL queries /indexes,etc, try leveldb if key/value store will work, its fast and micro.
- ssjvackar 14y agoMongoDB is 'lightweight' in the sense it's easy to setup and persistence of both simple and complex objects is a breeze. The query interface is a bit ugly but it may be worth a look.
