I Built a Database Engine in Rust for My Robot and Learned That SQLite Was the Wrong Battle
📰 Dev.to · mote
Building a custom database engine in Rust for a robot project led to a surprising conclusion: SQLite was not the right choice, highlighting the importance of evaluating project requirements
Action Steps
- Build a simple database engine in Rust to understand the basics of database design
- Evaluate the performance requirements of your project and compare them to the capabilities of SQLite
- Configure a test environment to benchmark the performance of different database solutions
- Test and analyze the results to determine the best database engine for your specific use case
- Apply the lessons learned to your project and consider alternative database solutions
