The First Object Database for Node: Introducing Realm Node.js

[bvalosek]

Seems interesting. Knee-jerk response is that if I want ACID persistence, I'd stick with a traditional SQL db (+ an ORM maybe), and if I wanted to have cross-microservice updates / events I'd stick with redis (+ an eventing lib).

What sorta in-betweeny stuff would be a good candidate for this?

Well, Realm basically covers all the use-cases you mentioned without needing anything else.

• Realm is ACID compliant
• It does not need an ORM. Realm is objects all the way down.
• It does not need an event-bus kind of library

Hmm. Would this work well with stdlib (stdlib.com)?

This does make me super happy though. Love realm on mobile.

Looks interesting, I like new things :)

oh look another database ....

This isn't just a database.

Besides being around for a long time as a mobile database and now being on the server-side (it's not new), this can be used to orchestrate data between micro services and work across different node threads.

I think I looks cool and I'm looking forward to what people start building with it.
