Comment on Why IndexedDB is slow and what to use insteadparent

Comments

It isn't how you would do it if you were bulk loading a bunch of pre determined data, but if it were a bunch of random business transactions in an OLTP scenario that is pretty much how it would happen. The fact that IndexedDB scales poorly in the number of transactions it can handle is an important data point when considering what tech to use.

Well, that hypothetical OLTP database almost certainly has many concurrent clients, right? Your single-threaded JavaScript app is not going to be generating the same usage pattern.

Please provide a real world example of this in a client side/PWA context for the class...

I am still trying to figure out why anyone wants a database in their document display program. As far as I am concerned browsers were complete a while ago, and devs are just adding random stuff so they can keep getting a paycheck.
