A Modular Database?
summary
Claim: build a modular database by composing LevelDB instances with level-sublevel so each subdatabase looks like a full DB. Concrete tools and behaviors: nested node_modules avoids dependency hell, uses pre hooks for atomic index updates and post hooks for non‑atomic notifications, a log DB answers “last 30 seconds” queries, and a job queue guarantees at‑least‑once work by re‑scanning unfinished jobs. Demonstrations show indexes by author, time‑based streams, and the modules published on npm — the approach works in practice.
