[Discussion] What's the scenario of using lowdb and next.js together?

[LikeDreamwalker]

This is not an issue about this repo but I do haven't found too much info about this usage.

I was thinking building the database with Next.js Edge Service, so it should be very convenient to build API and save data by frontend.

But then I realize one thing, since the db.json is inside the project, which means when I try to build my app with the db.json, this database file will always be overwrite by the new one after I send the new docker image to the server. Which means, in this scenario, the lowdb is not a really persistent database. It should always be brand new after I update my app.

I also think maybe we should use it on the client side, not the server side, but since we already have IndexedDB, I really can't say necessity of using lowdb instead of using IndexedDB.

So for now I can draw a conclusion that lowdb with Next.js should not be designed to save the data which needs to be saved secure. One scenario I can think about is to use lowdb to cache data on Edge Service for user and real server.

Any other ideas? I think I just find a powerful weapon, but I just don't know how to use it 🤷‍♂️
