datalevin 2026-06-03

Just curious, people here who are running Datalevin in production (which I realize may be a small number), are you using it in server or embedded mode?

We use it in embedded mode.

embedded, but currently considering server-mode for when we do a more general roll-out

embedded mode

we use embedded mode

Okay, this is nice to hear. I am using Datalevin as fairly simple web application DB—really nothing I couldn't do with PSQL or whatever, but I just like the ergonomics of Datalevin/Datalog much more than SQL. Was thinking of launching w/ embedded mode and then moving to server mode if/when that becomes necessary, but wondered if that was a risky move. Sounds like I will be in good company 🙂.

What risks? It is always possible to fallback from datalevin to postgres

i think they mean "would it be risky if I committed to embedded usage?/would swapping from embedded to server-usage be onerous+disruptive?"

@sia.mohammady66 what do you mean "fallback from datalevin to postgres". Like you'd have to migrate or is there some more streamlined path? (I'm new to datalevin)

@geodrome Seems, somebody asks about risks of using Datalein instead of RDBMS, then i said in the worst case scenario you can migrate from datalevin to another database like Postgres It seems after that the message is edited or deleted so it is not clear i'm answering somebody else
