API DB

This is the database adapter that the frontend uses to display results. The results are stored whenever a benchmark is run.

Below you can find instructions for using either Postgres or SQLite. By default Best uses a local SQLite file, however we recommend using Postgres if you are running on anything other than your local machine.

SQLite

SQLite is configured by default, but if you would like to provide a custom path you can use the following configuration.

Config

Inside your best.config.js you need to have the following:

{
    apiDatabase: {
        adapter: 'sql/sqlite',
        uri: 'PATH_TO_SQLITE_DB'
    }
}

You do not need to create your own sqlite file, the adapter will handle that for you.

Postgres

Config

Inside your best.config.js you need to have the following:

{
    apiDatabase: {
        adapter: 'sql/postgres',
        uri: 'postgresql://dbuser:secretpassword@database.server.com:3211/mydb
    }
}

For Postgres, you need to provision and manage your own database.
