📢 The Origin Private File System (OPFS) is a cross-browser solution for your performance-critical, file-based storage needs on the Web! @chrisdavidmills has documented everything you need to know about the API over on MDN: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File_System_API/Origin_private_file_system.

💡 This is what powers Photoshop (https://developer.chrome.com/blog/how-photoshop-solved-working-with-files-larger-than-can-fit-into-memory/) and SQLite Wasm (https://developer.chrome.com/blog/sqlite-wasm-in-the-browser-backed-by-the-origin-private-file-system/).

Storage in web apps can be a real pain, but nearly every year the possibilities expand. Thomas Steiner (@tomayac), from the Chrome Dev Team, highlights the latest expansion in detail: the **Origin Private File System**, which allows to handle complete file structures on the web.

🥳 It’s happening: the Intent to Deprecate and Remove for Web SQL has been sent: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/fWYb6evVA-w/m/pziWcvboAgAJ; read more about our plans on the blog: https://developer.chrome.com/blog/deprecating-web-sql.

Together with the SQLite team, we’ve prepared a replacement for Web SQL based on SQLite Wasm backed by the origin private file system (OPFS): https://developer.chrome.com/blog/sqlite-wasm-in-the-browser-backed-by-the-origin-private-file-system/.

There’s also a Web SQL 🔜 SQLite Wasm migration guide: https://developer.chrome.com/blog/from-web-sql-to-sqlite-wasm/.

📢The File System Standard adds an origin private file system (OPFS) 📂 as a storage endpoint private to the origin of a page providing optional access to a special kind of file 🗂️ that’s highly optimized for performance.

@tomayac Just finished watching the recording of the Fugu Chat from BlinkOn 17. I particularly enjoyed the very last remark by Ben Morss: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=5Yzd3nCvIAM&t=27m25s

He refers to the recent beta release of sqlite3 WebAssembly which enables to create AND persist a sqlite database in your browser: https://sqlite.org/releaselog/3_40_0.html

For persisting the database they are using a (theoretically) unlimited 👀 browser-side storage (OPFS): https://webkit.org/blog/12257/the-file-system-access-api-with-origin-private-file-system/
