Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

NearDB is a simple database that leverages cloud infrastructure like document storage and CDN to deliver an inexpensive unbelievably scalable document database optimized for reads and perfect for edge applications.

Codacy Badge Build Status Coverage Status

Motivation

While working on building edge applications for higher performance and lower latency there is a need store persistent data also on edge.

Distributed database solutions but they are very involved and costly while having a lower global footprint than a CDN.

Leverage ubiquitous and mature infrastructure like cloud storage and CDNs to deliver a persistent, performance, and inexpensive db solution from the edge.

Use with Edge Apps/Functions

Works with the following for database storage

Client-side compatibility

Keep in mind while using this for client-side that ACL is done on the bucket/CDN level. It was designed for edge server use so client implementation can be a bit tricky. Open an issue with your specific case, I would love to hear how you plan on using it.

  • Browser
  • React Native

Who is this for

This is perfect for persistent data that is read frequently and needs to be avaialble on the edge application to deliver dynamic data while keeping the costs low. Some examples of the best uses are:

  • Key-value
  • Configuration
  • Cached data

Probably not for you if

  • You plan on using this as your primary database for an app that has complex data needs.
  • You need transactions. (I have some ideas on how to accomplish this, but its currently not implemented.)
  • Do many writes/sec in the same document. Reads are incredibly efficient, fast and inexpensive; however, writes are always at the origin.
