I had come across LMDB myself some time ago and I remember thinking that it looked like a very good fit for implementing IndexedDB. I didn't really dig too much into it as my knowledge of our storage code is limited and I know I wouldn't have the time to try and hack together a prototype. I think it would be pretty interesting though. > If you have heavy reads, LMDB may be an ideal choice.

It sounds like it would be perfect for practically all the IndexedDB databases I've come across while working on FxOS. Gabriele
