how to writing own database driver?

@blindson76 What do you mean? Do you want to use a database besides MongoDB or Redis?
If so, you will have to match the apis of the other databases. See this Github directory for examples on how to use other databases with NodeBB.

yeah. i care . thank you

So I thought I found a wiki or forum post talking more about database drivers for NodeBB but I can't seem to find it anymore. Specifically, I'm interested in writing something for Couchbase.

@djensen47 I personally think we should all strive after a SSDB adapter. As it combines the performance of Redis and persistance of MongoDB

I haven't seen SSDB in the wild and it's probably best to support mainstream drivers to begin with. Redis, MongoDB, and Couchbase (which is CouchDB + Memcache) are some of the most popular NoSQL solutions. I would argue however, that it is a gamble running Redis without HA and redundancy. It's quite easy to lose your entire database running a single instance of Redis.

Are you talking about that time when a few members were losing their entire forum? That was already determined to be because the db was exposed to the world and some bad actor was flushing their db remotely. The main downside of redis is that the entire db is held in memory (but is still persisted on disk) so if the DB is large it will take a lot of memory.

Our DB got dumped atleast five times. Switched to Mongo; no issues. It was a dev server, so we just copied out the important data by hand, cough need converter cough, to mongo and just put redis to bed. Couchbase is certainly worth a look. Think I read something about work on GPU-accelerated couchdb version... cant seem to find it now.

@bitspook why not try Edis then?
It is a drop in replacement for Redis.@djensen47, SSDB is pretty popular in asia and even used for big applications (see clients).
-
@bitspook a post-mortem is just a look at why something failed after the fact, an attempt to understand what happened and ways to prevent it. I was asking to see if you had determined a similar cause, by having your redis database exposed to the world.
-
Ah, nope. Thought you had a diagnostic tool to recommend. Our server guy just said it was flushed and that we needed to move away; "redis isnt built for that, we simply cant run it in production when mongo is compatible."
Although you can rig redis to work, mongo is better for the usecase. We will need the flexibility with non-standard extensions we will be using.
