NeDB VS pg-mem

Yes! I plan to maintain it long-term! I will be rolling out some feature improvements and updates these few weeks.

I still think Kong did a good job in crafting the product. I started using Insomnia in my previous company 3 years ago and our team loved it.

What happened recently felt a little bit like the Unity fiasco (of course, in a much smaller scale). Though as a user I would say Kong had taken a bad turn, I'm still grateful to them for open-sourcing such a fantastic product.

One of the reasons I forked it was because I've read the code and I think it's quite nicely written overall (but unfortunately things like nedb that was used is no longer maintained https://github.com/louischatriot/nedb so it's probably wise to swap out at some point)

Sounds like node is trying to fsync to an unsupported file system. Top hit on goolge does not look promising: https://github.com/louischatriot/nedb/issues/407

You can pick one from this NeDB's issue that fits your needs, or keep using NeDB if it is still working for you, no longer maintained != not working.

At least for my needs, NeDB[0] is the best of both worlds for prototyping and early-stage production releases. It's human-readable, on-disk, greppable, still supports indexing and a subset of Mongo features while remaining serverless and in-memory.

Local: Local specific logic. For example, code to write to a Nedb table.

What I'd do to get the best understanding of how NeDB works is to dive into the docs here. The primary things to keep in mind are that there can be other non-JSON data in those files, and that all of the document data is appended and periodically compacted, which means you'll often have an arbitrary number of duplicates and versions within the same file.

I've used https://github.com/louischatriot/nedb before but it may not meet your needs.

NeDB compatible with MongoDB

Also, there is a javascript solution called nedb: https://github.com/louischatriot/nedb, which does largely the same thing

There is similar project in Javascript called NeDB

I've used pgmem https://github.com/oguimbal/pg-mem for the last couple of years for the same thing.

I was wondering the other day how to classify tests that use a test double like pg-mem, which isn't a mock but isn't the Dockerized test DB either :

In my case, I use TypeORM with PostgreSQL, and there's pg-mem to run an instance in memory, it supports most of the common functionality of PostgreSQL but you will need to do some adjustment to your code to be within the limits.

Postgres in the browser is possible through pg-mem: "pg-mem is an experimental in-memory emulation of a postgres database" but it also suffers from no persistence. If you can persist to a file somewhere then read it in on startup (and if your local data isn't huge) this might work.

Dont get me wrong: I am trying to contribute to opensource as well, so I get that supporting small projects can be demanding. There's nothing wrong in not spending your weekends on OS. But not asking for help, nor specifying that a project is unmaintained, nor even answering issues & pull requests for years feels just wrong.

Okay, I had a bit of spare time,I've implemented that, and it is now available with [email protected]

To get a glimpse of what I'm talking about, you can clone this repo and follow "Development" instructions (by the way this is a small OS lib I maintain, I wrote about it here)
