Yes. The prevalence architecture is much simpler and allows greater
freedom of choice for data structures and algorithms.

Yes. Agile teams are more open to new ways of thinking about architecture.

Extremely easy set-up and deploy. No object-relational mismatch.

No, I had not. It is a very nice roundup of in-memory databases union
Prevayler. I have copied Valerio, the author, in this email.

HSQLBD is relational. Nobody uses the relational paradigm if not
forced to use it for persistence purposes. Nobody in there right mind
writes a transient app, such as a browser, a router or a game, keeping
its data in relational tables in RAM and accessing it through SQL, do
they?

PICO4 produced better transaction throughput numbers than Prevayler
because, from what the thesis says, it does not physically sync
transactions to disk. So if one has non-important transactions, PICO4
is a good choice.

Turning off Prevayler's physical sync to disk yields similar results.

See you, Klaus.
