Plans

Dulcimer plans on being a Node.js ORM for many keystores. We will achieve this plan by adding more backends to levelup (redis, riak, etc), and doing feature detection on these backends in order to shim lacking features or take advantage of existing features that serve the Dulcimer featureset well.

Levelup Backends

The idea is that you should be able to develop against one backend and deploy against another.

levelup-riak support is already well on its way and should be usable shortly (it's only missing sibling support some tests, and shakedown).

CLI Tools

Other plans involve cli tools for export/import between levelup backends, rebuilding indexes, etc.

Break out levelup wrappers

Right now, indexing, incrementers, fancy streams, and other features are built into Dulcimer that should be broken out into their own levelup packages that contribute to the Levelup echosystem.
