Full-blown Database Management Software written completely in Javascirpt ✨

This is not just a fancy client, it's a complete DBMS which is completely written in NodeJS with type declarations and documentation to ease developer's introduction to the amazing world of SavanahDB

It is a NoSQL meaning you can store data flexibly in the JSON format but it can also be used to establish deep relations between tables, have groups in the filter, join data from different tables!

Let's create a Social Network with this Database :

First, let's start a server to receive and process requests via various clients

import { Server } from 'savanahdb' 

let server = new Server({
  path: '/var/db/', 
  masterKey: 'ksKkharaudjwnwbduxnsn5yahahhwwsmma' // 64-bit key to encrypt important configurations
}) 

And that's it! Run it with pm2
You have your own server running now!

We connect to it using a client :

import { Client } from 'savanahdb';

let client = new Client({
   user : "randomusr",
   pass : "fdASDFajd9awjef98awjefioawjeasdf"
})

let db = client.db('network')
let users = db.table('users')
let posts = db.table('posts')  

First, you store the User Document when they sign up:

users.insert({
    name : 'John Adam',
    city : 'New York',
    tier : 'Silver',
    prem : true,
    id : 'usrOw9a0eif0923aewf'
})

Next you store two Posts they posted with reference to their id essentially establishing a relationship between the tables:

posts.insert({
    usr : 'usrOw9a0eif0923aewf',
    content : 'I love this network.'
})
// A Few Moments Later..
posts.insert({
    usr : 'usrOw9a0eif0923aewf',
    content : "Nvm, I don't know anymore"
})

Now when someone visits the Orginal User's Profile to list the posts they have posted, you create a search like this :

let usr = await users.search('id == "usrOw9a0eif0923aewf"', {
    join : {
      posts : 'that.usr == this.id' 
    }
}

In this case the usr Document will be :

[{
   name : 'John Adam',
    city : 'New York',
    tier : 'Silver',
    prem : true,
    id : 'usrOw9a0eif0923aewf',
    posts : [{
    usr : 'usrOw9a0eif0923aewf',
    content : 'I love this network.'
  },{
    usr : 'usrOw9a0eif0923aewf',
    content : "Nvm, I don't know anymore"
  }]
}]

I will be updating the README of the npm package with benchmarks quite soon.

[Keerthi Vasan]

I have already benchmarked it against Mongodb what else should I add to the comparison?

[HARSH VATS]

Your npm link is broken!

[Keerthi Vasan]

Sorry! Fixed now. Thanks for pointing out

[Dmitry Maltsev]

What about BigData support?

[Keerthi Vasan]

Yes. With sharding and the concept of connecting multiple servers as a hive it should be able to process terabytes of data, be highly available and fast

I am working on a gitbook documentation to explain advanced concepts like sharding, hive, scaling and security with SavanahDB whenever it's ready it will linked in the readme. Future versions will be able to scale diagonally ( horizontally and vertically) on demand

The syntax reminds me of prisma.
Keep up the good work!
