Review on ActorDB by Chris Cruz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great solution when needing storage and fast reads

The ability to store data in my own database, which I can query at any time without additional software dependencies (like Redis). It's also easy enough for me as developer that it doesn't require much effort or knowledge of how databases work before using them first-hand - just connect/query away! That being said there are no configuration options available out-of-the box so you have some initial setup required if this isn't something your team has experience with already. For our use case we needed to be able extract information from webhooks into Elasticsearch but didn’t want to rely solely upon third party services such as ELK Stack etc., instead building up ourselves by querying MySQL directly against actordb itself.

Pros
  • The database structure is straightforward and the database is fast and easy to query
Cons
  • The documentation is very basic and there is little information on how to get started with the product
