How well does it scale? #452

@Jchicode and others, Been reading on the Internet and, although I could be wrong, it seems that someone mentioned that IceFireDB does not actually space out the data across the peers long with replication of some data on different peers for redundancy, but I think that they mentioned that IceFireDB basically just clones all of the data to every peer so that they are basically copies of the same thing. Is this true? |
At present, IceFireDB does not implement data sharding. We originally planned to use the IceFireDB-Proxy component to implement decentralized sharding. Thank you for your attention to the project. We will further consider the needs of data sharding. |
Thanks for the update on this and will definitely keep it in mind. |
Hello,
I have been doing research for a new P2P project in development and need to try and locate a DB that massively scales.
It appears that IceFireDB "might" be capable of this since it uses IPFS but I am not sure.
My project is a type of massively scaling P2P eCommerce system for which I need a good DB that can scale and also work P2P as nodes will be joining and leaving the network but if IceFireDB also replicates (shards) out data across nodes then that would provide for redundancy and a safety net when a particular node leave the network.
Can you please elaborate more on this for me?
Thanks and have a great day.
