Implementing a database is out of scope for this guide, however, several guides are available online for simple embedded open source software solutions like SQLite, HyperSQL, Derby, and many more. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

And finally, here comes test scoped artefacts. Apache Spark ones are included as testImplementation. Because integration tests will start the local Spark node. So, they are required during the runtime. The slf4j-api is also the runtime dependency. Testcontainers will be used to run the Aerospike instance. The janino is required by Apache Spark during the job execution. And we need Apache Derby to tune Apache Hive... - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

It most certainly is not just in-memory; it can do in-memory, but also has file and server options: https://h2database.com/html/features.html#connection_modes Exact same story for its HyperSQL and Derby friends: http://hsqldb.org/doc/2.0/guide/running-chapt.html#rgc_hsqldb_db https://db.apache.org/derby/#What+is+Apache+Derby%3F. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
