PouchDB has a new adapter - nodesqlite

Alba Herrerías — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Hello everyone! PouchDB has a new available adapter for you to use, nodesqlite, that internally uses Node.js's native SQLite module as its persistence layer. This will be, in PouchDB's release version 11.0.0, the default adapter for node environments, replacing the deprecated LevelDB ecosystem we currently depend on. You can read more about the details, discussion and timeline in this issue, and look at its implementation in this pull request.

PouchDB 7.2.1 - New indexeddb adapter

New indexeddb adapter

#7618 - We are excited to announce the release of a new adapter for indexeddb access which uses native indexes rather than custom tables. This is an additional adapter rather than an upgrade so you can continue using "idb" for the old version or choose to switch to "indexeddb". The new version is not backwards compatible and data migration is left as an exercise for the reader.
