datasette-copy-to-memory

Copy database files into an in-memory database on startup

This plugin is highly experimental. It currently exists to support Datasette performance research, and is not designed for actual production usage.

Installation

Install this plugin in the same environment as Datasette.

datasette install datasette-copy-to-memory

Usage

On startup, Datasette will create an in-memory named database for each attached database. This database will have the same name but with _memory at the end.

So running this:

datasette fixtures.db

Will serve two databases: the original at /fixtures and the in-memory copy at /fixtures_memory.

Development

To set up this plugin locally, first checkout the code. Then create a new virtual environment:

cd datasette-copy-to-memory
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

Now install the dependencies and test dependencies:

pip install -e '.[test]'

To run the tests:

pytest
