> so just use the filesystem

Honestly imo with SSDs being as fast as they are, the filesystem is wildly underrated. I have a scraper grabbing items from a mobile app and I just store each item as the JSON file then check it in to git. Push triggers some processing and everything new gets messaged directly to me.

It’s never crashed and never missed a beat. I could also throw up a simple web UI that just parses everything in the items directory and get <200ms response times on the lowest-cost vps.
