  Absolutely you can! Drizzle and Mongoose is fully exposed by payload - you can find it inside of

  payload.db

  Would it be faster using payload.db to update or create data ?

  payload.db is faster, but it lacks support for lots of things like access control and hooks. It's basically a direct database call with very little payload other than where queries and pagination

  Okay makes sense. It’s exactly what I was looking for

  I had another question, if I run payload in a nodejs cluster is there anything I need to keep in mind or best practices?

  Did you end up trying this? If so how did you configure it?

  It’s quite simple. You can use payload.db anywhere you need with the local api.

  
  
  

  I’ll try and find you an example when I get back

  
  
  

  Oh wait, are you referencing the cluster setup? I did set it up

  
  
  

  I used pm2 to create a cluster, I’ve also implemented on railway using their cluster implementation (replicas)

  So I actually had a huge performance boost just spawning multiple workers in

  server.ts

  I saw a 3-4x increase overall without using PM2!

  Ooh nice

  @778799229988110337

  , I’ve done that as well. I use them for intensive cronjobs. What are you using for workers to do ?
