SleekDB is a pure PHP, dependency-free NoSQL document database that stores data in plain JSON files on disk. It provides a rich query API (filtering, sorting, joins, text search) with a built-in query cache, designed for low to medium load applications.
Use cases
- embed a database in a PHP app without installing MySQL or MongoDB
- store and query JSON documents with no schema
- build a small CMS or blog backend with flat-file storage
- prototype an application without database infrastructure
- query nested JSON document properties with conditions
- cache query results for fast repeated reads
When to choose
- you need a zero-dependency database that runs anywhere PHP runs
- your data volume is a few gigabytes and load is low to medium
- you want simple file-based persistence for small PHP projects or shared hosting
- you prefer schema-free document storage without a database server
When to avoid
- you need high-concurrency, heavy IO workloads
- you require transactions, replication, or horizontal scaling
- your dataset is large and flat-file scanning would be too slow
- multiple servers need to share write access to the same data
