Description
I believe it's a better practice to store data in a proper database instead of random json files.
Pros
- All data in one location
- Apps can have an actual ID (auto incrementing)
- No more boost json
- Can use db fixtures for unit testing different scenarios
- Can use proper migrations when the db structure changes, storing the db version in migration table... with up and down migrations. For down migrations Sunshine could download the downgrade SQL file from the git repo since it wouldn't be available in the previous versions of Sunshine.
Cons
- All data in one location
- SQL
