Database size limit #3

Open dan-silver opened 11 years ago

dan-silver commented 11 years ago

We are currently using 0.8% of our free space and we haven't started collecting large amounts of data yet. So, this thread will be about ways to reduce our database size. Some initial ideas:

Shorter field names
Make our own id's that are integers

One way to cleanly handle the smaller names would be to use Mongoose aliases. I'll look more into implementing them.

Also, unless we're ever going to use the version key, we can disable them for every collection. Right now, I think they are all 0.

One option for the aliases could be https://github.com/ramiel/Alias-Field-Mongoose-plugin, but it looks rather hackish.
