This is amazing! I self host Plausible but don't like depending on Clickhouse and Postgres because they're annoying to upgrade. What kind of database is this using though? I don't know enough Go to figure it out from the source.

I checked the go.mod and it seems to be importing a module named pebble by cockroachdb i assume that's where everything is stored

It uses Pebble, the key-value store that backs CockroachDB.

Just saw this notice:

> WARNING: Pebble may silently corrupt data or behave incorrectly if used with a RocksDB database that uses a feature Pebble doesn't support. Caveat emptor!

Slightly worrying for now running this in prod if there is a risk for silent data corruption, but hopefully in a few years Vince would have drivers for Postgres / Clickhouse.

This just warns about using Pebble with an existing RocksDB which isn't the case here. Pebble powers CockroachDB which is a Serious Database.
