When to use LiveStore (and when not)
Database
- All the client app data should fit into a in-memory SQLite database
- Depending on the target device having databases up to 1GB in size should be okay.
- If you you have more data, you can consider segmenting your database into multiple SQLite database (e.g. segmented per project, workspace, document, …).
- You can either use the
schema.keyoption for the segmentation or there could also be a way to use the SQLite attach feature to dynamically attach/detach databases.
- Depending on the target device having databases up to 1GB in size should be okay.
Other considerations
- How data flows / what’s the source of truth?
Syncing
- LiveStore’s syncing system is designed for small/medium-level concurrency scenarios (e.g. 10s / low 100s of users collaborating on the same thing for a given eventlog).
- Collaboration on multiple different eventlogs concurrently is supported and should be used to “scale horizontally”.
