Comment on Why IndexedDB is slow and what to use instead

Comments

Unless I missed it, I assume the article is talking about the Chrome implementation of IndexedDB. As far as I know the performance issue with their implementation vs. say, Firefox’ one is a known issue[1].

Other comments mention using batch operations to speed-up IDB but maybe Chrome could also fix their implementation in the first place. It seems, though, that the Chrome team had no intention on improving the write performance of IDB as of 2019[2].

Edit: it seems that Chrome team did improve the performance of IDB since 2019 but it is still not at Firefox level of performance.
