Hi there ! (First post ever yay!)

I’m, like a lot of users lately, been migrating from Reddit to Kbin and Lemmy.

I finally had a good reason to contribute by writting HelmCharts to run Lemmy and Kbin on Kubernetes ( hopefully some of you might be interested !)

Anyways, i was wondering whrn analysing the docker stack of Kbin if instead of running postgresql, it could be replaced by a NoSQL service such as MongoDB.

I felt like the concept of the fediverse and the data structure seem pretty compatible.

And since there have been some performance issues ( probably for database) lately, it might be an interesting way to deal with large volumes of data.

Let me know what you think !

Cheers!

    @Burn1ngBull3t There are many transaction in Fedi, that why Mastodon and Kbin use SQL for standard operation. But in future maybe will be some place to something like Elasticsearch for full text search

      Thanks for the reply @piotrsikora ! I see, so relational db is pretty much mandatory as i understand, and NoSQL has its place as a complement instead of a replacement

      Thanks
