  • Sorry for the confusion. Don’t take my words literally, I’m not an expert on databases. I use JSON for my job and it’s enough for me, so use what database your project needs. But by full-fledged I meant completely leaning on databases which may slow some things down for the server side. However I now checked PostgreSQL and it seems much better for large datasets, so I don’t think that would be a concern for you.





  • Both have ups and downs. Assuming these lists will be in the code, do you have an estimation how big would that be? If you think they won’t strangle the code, just go with it. Something like storing them in JSON and loading them when needed could be better for optimization though.

    You can also do some best of both worlds, like not creating the communities beforehand but make the titles searchable from the database open for all users. That might require a bigger traffic from hosting side though, but it should be OK since these will be spread to all self hosted communities.

    I think you can also ask some of your questions to selfhosted communities.
