do you pipe all the data to /dev/null? I don't see any databases mentioned in the technology stack

oh! i have to update the readme ;)

actually as i used django framework (which is database agnostic), on my development env i use sqlite3 and on production im using postgresql

so you can pretty much use any database that django supports.

in fact, for a large scale usage postgresql would not be enough... but for using inside a company intranet, with a few users i think it is alright for now

> for a large scale usage postgresql would not be enough

What sort of large scale are you talking about? Why would Postgres not be enough? What would be, and which features make it better for use with your project?

hm im not so sure. but if we plan to use a single to instance of bootcamp, and companies can use it as a service, signing up their companies and using a single infra, that would be thousands of networks on the same database maybe a nosql db would be better? i am not really an database expert to make this sort of analysis hehe.. never really worked with huge amount of data, like twitter and facebook for example

i mean, im not so sure if a relational database would be the best option

I would imagine something like Cassandra scaling better (both on the reads & writes), but I'd suspect you'd have to change your data model quite a bit to see those benefits. If you're interested in this line of inquiry, shoot me an email 'jlh' @ 'opencore.io'.
