What kind of DB should I use for a node.js server that needs to handle lots of concurrent DB accesses (at least more than 1000 concurrent requests to “update” entries, I assume), if there is one?

I was going to use MySQL with one DB connection per request but it looks like there may be a more suitable choice of DB for handling many DB connections (mostly updating entries as I mentioned it above with double quotes).

Thanks in advance 🙂

    I would recommend:

    • MongoDB: if you have a lot of data should could possible spread over many servers
    • Redis: faster then MongoDB, but harder if you hit the limit of having more data then one server could handle

    They both have atomic update operations, which makes them a good choice for you. (This means you could update object without the need to fetching it before.)

    They both different from what you maybe now from MySQL and you need to test which of them is more suitable for your data-structures.

    A short comparision could be found here: http://kkovacs.eu/cassandra-vs-mongodb-vs-couchdb-vs-redis/

    Best advice I could give you: Try out different technologies, benchmark them and then make a decision.
