I want to use #surrealdb, but I am unsure if it is safe enough to use in a hobby project. I know many people have already started using it, and I doubt anything I make will get heavy usage... but it’s such a powerful, different type of #database I really want to try leveraging it.
@hack13 Honestly, I'd give it a bit. They're doing a lot and it's probably going to end up as a jack of all trades master of none. Having been to their launch event and seen it in action, I'm not really sold, and I was really excited for it at first. They're also investing a lot of time and effort into machine learning, which even they don't seem completely ethused about.
@arch Fair, still wanna try considering using something other than regular SQL DB like Maria or Postgres... Maybe I will give Cassandra or CouchDB a try.
@hack13 CouchDB is really cool, especially the replication stuff it does (take a peek at PouchDB as well). These days I'm looking at some of the KV store stuff other databases are building on top of, like RocksDB and LevelDB. Databases are fun :D
@arch I mean my learning workers project that I still run in production for https://hack13.link/ is using Cloudflare KV Store and it works super fast and well. https://github.com/hack13/hacks-links that said, I should look at cleaning that up at some point, because I am sure there are cleaner ways of doing things with it these days.
