Alternate storage backends: MySQL and etcd-io/BBolt

[huesflash]

Can and should resonate support MySql and BBolt (kv) storage backends ?

Apologies if this isn’t the right place to pose such questions. I’d be interested in implementing them.

Alternate storages are definitely on the roadmap, including supporting key-value stores. Just out of curiosity, what would be the benefits for you of mysql over postgres?

[huesflash]

Just for coverage and I know MySQL has many fans :/ As for the KV, I like what restatedev is doing with their distributed workers that also act as stores for latency and durability reasons. Is a similar design being considered for resonate ?

That's a really good question, @huesflash do you mind joining our community slack and we can talk more in depth? We are currently in the process of deciding and prioritizing features.

I agree with you @huesflash on MySQL. It would be a great addition given its popularity.

dropping this to show anyone interested in contributing and helping us out where in the codebase we store our db implementations:

Thanks!
