Your existing drivers, ORMs and CLIs connect to it unchanged, and it idles at about 2 MB of RAM. Why: my laptop was running a Docker Compose stack that idled at 2.5–4 GB just so npm run dev would work. For local development I don't need replication, clustering or tuning. I need the commands my app actually sends to behave correctly.</p> <p>It's a local dev tool, not a production database. No clustering, no auth, no tuning, on purpose. What isn't supported yet is listed openly in the repo. Prebuilt for Linux, macOS and Windows (x64 and ARM). MIT licensed. Repo: <a href="https://github.com/its-banana-coder/noida-db" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/its-banana-coder/noida-db</a></p> <p>I'd love for people to point their app at it and tell me what breaks.</p> productivity opensource database performance
