 [feathers-nedb](https://github.com/feathersjs-ecosystem/feathers-nedb/) is a database service adapter for [NeDB](https://github.com/seald/nedb), an embedded datastore with a [MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.org/) like API. NeDB can store data in-memory or on the filesystem which makes it useful as a persistent storage without a separate database server.
