Codehooks vs. Lua vs. OrbitDB vs. restdb.io Comparison Chart

Lua is a powerful, efficient, lightweight, embeddable scripting language. It supports procedural programming, object-oriented programming, functional programming, data-driven programming, and data description. Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is dynamically typed, runs by interpreting bytecode with a register-based virtual machine, and has automatic memory management with incremental garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping. Lua has a deserved reputation for performance. To claim to be "as fast as Lua" is an aspiration of other scripting languages. Several benchmarks show Lua as the fastest language in the realm of interpreted scripting languages. Lua is fast not only in fine-tuned benchmark programs, but in real life too. Substantial fractions of large applications have been written in Lua.

restdb.io is a simple NoSQL database backend as a service (DBaaS). With very little effort and no coding, you can quickly set up an online database with a user friendly browser-based admin interface and a secure REST API. Add a few "low" code javascript hooks and background jobs and you can automate anything, making it a perfect data storage mechanism for various application workflows. restdb.io comes with a free plan for up to three users.
