Which database engine is best for node.js apps? [closed]

Question

I am looking for a database engine which is the best for storing thousands of records. I first wanted to use MySQL, because I know it best, but I'd like to have strong answer.

I need predefined columns, database can be as small as 10 MB or as "big" as 10 GB of data and it would be cool if that engine is fast for reads (insertions may be a bit slower). I don't need fast-fulltext-search or regexp searching. To give you an example - selecting items via slug extracted from link.

I saw this site before but I still don't know what is best option for me.

So here is my question: Which database engine is best for uses like mine?

Answer 1

You should look at MEAN stack. Personally, I like MongoDB - I use an ORM tool like mongooseJS - It increases your development speed rapidly. The one thing i really like about having Node JS, Express body parser, mongodb and mongoose is I deal everything on the server side in one language - Javascript and I expose REST services which can be consumed on Web (typically Angular - the A in MEAN stack or backbone) based application.
