Database Recommendations for a High-Traffic Real-Time Code Editing Platform

Hi there! I want to build a website similar to https://hubspot.com/ or https://webzeto.com/ that can handle hundreds of thousands of users simultaneously editing and viewing code in real time. What database would be ideal for this type of project?

Hello @rehan.arif,

Welcome to the Auth0 community,

For building a website that should handle hundreds of thousands of users in real-time you can use multiple databases like PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Firebase Firestore etc.

You should consider a hybrid approach, using different databases for different tasks(example: sql for transactions, nosql for unstructured data).

I hope this was helpful and please don’t hesitate to come back with further questions.

Thank you,
Tudor
