Why?

There are many embedded database solutions that offer fast, reliable storage and are being used in a variety of projects, but we came across a number of pain points:

Embedded databases written in JS For use in web and Node based projects:

• Low max DB sizes/limitation by Node's max string length https://github.com/LokiJS-Forge/LokiDB/issues/194
• Lack of community https://github.com/LokiJS-Forge/LokiDB/issues/191 https://github.com/louischatriot/nedb/commit/2436f616c337fc7f41858f5428f749080a0367cd
• Web storage as first class citizen - We need to support BOTH file system storage and web storage

SQLite This has proven to be difficult to use in Webpack/Electron based projects due to the requirement of building native dependencies.
