Comment on Show HN: Infreqdb – S3 backed key/value database for infrequent read access

Comments

What do you think about this being able to work with Gzip compressed JSONs stored on S3? Cool project, thank you.

Thanks.

I think flat JSON files wont be efficient. My goal is to have the cache on disk, and each cached file would be big with lots of keys on it. In order to use JSON files, I would either have to keep the whole parsed data in memory, or parse the whole JSON each time I want to lookup a key.

If the data fits in memory then sure JSON is more convenient.
