The in-memory database keeps all data in RAM, and optionally persists it on the file system when the server shuts down. It is meant for development purpose only.

Options

The following options are available.

databases:
  memory:
    data:
      $ref: my_data_file.yml
    save: true

The data option is an object containing all the collections loaded on server startup. It defaults to an empty database. For example:

users:
  - id: '1'
    name: Anthony
  - id: '2'
    name: David
managers: []

If the save option is true, the data will be saved back to the file when the server shuts down, providing the data option used a reference.
