What specifications does the lightweight database service provide?

The lightweight database service typically provides specifications that are optimized for small to medium-sized applications with moderate data storage and processing needs. These specifications may include:

1. Limited Storage Capacity: Typically starting from a few hundred megabytes to a few gigabytes, suitable for small datasets.

   • Example: A startup might use a lightweight database with 1 GB of storage to manage user profiles and basic transaction data.

2. Moderate Processing Power: Enough to handle a few hundred to a few thousand transactions per second.

   • Example: An e-commerce site with low to medium traffic could use this service to process orders and manage inventory.

3. Simplified Scalability: Allows for easy scaling up or down based on demand, but may not support automatic scaling.

   • Example: A seasonal business might scale up its database capacity during peak seasons and scale down during off-peak times.

4. Basic Features: Focuses on essential database functionalities like CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations.

   • Example: A blog platform might use a lightweight database to store articles, comments, and user data.

5. Affordable Pricing: Generally lower cost compared to enterprise-level databases, making it suitable for startups and small businesses.

   • Example: A small business might choose a lightweight database service with a pay-as-you-go model to manage customer data.
