Question 1

How to persist data in piladb?

Accepted Answer

piladb does not support data persistence out of the box since it's an in-memory database; data is lost on server restart, so you'd need external solutions or backups for durability.

Question 2

piladb vs Redis for stack operations?

Accepted Answer

piladb is specialized for stack operations with a REST API and minimal dependencies, while Redis supports multiple data structures, persistence, and broader features. For simple, temporary stacks, piladb is lighter, but Redis is more versatile for production.

Question 3

How to install piladb on Windows?

Accepted Answer

The README provides binaries only for Linux and Mac; for Windows, you need to build from source using Go 1.6+ and the make commands, but cross-compilation support isn't explicitly detailed, which may require additional setup.

Question 4

Can piladb handle concurrent API requests?

Accepted Answer

Yes, being written in Go, piladb likely handles concurrency well due to Go's native goroutines, but the README doesn't specify performance benchmarks or concurrency limits, so testing is advised for high-load scenarios.

Question 5

What are the memory limits for piladb stacks?

Accepted Answer

Stacks are auto-scalable but limited by host memory or configuration, as per the README; very large datasets may cause performance issues or out-of-memory errors, with no built-in partitioning.

Question 6

Is piladb suitable for microservices?

Accepted Answer

Yes, its lightweight REST API and stack-based model make it good for microservices needing simple, temporary data storage, but the lack of persistence and high availability may be drawbacks for critical services.
