chatkit-store

To persist ChatKit threads in memory, you can use an in-memory store implementation that provides complete storage operations for threads, items, and attachments without requiring an external database. It satisfies the 14 required methods of the chatkit.store.Store interface.

Handling ChatKit attachments without an external database is achieved through an in-memory store that manages attachment operations alongside thread and item management. This approach is specifically designed for development and prototyping environments.

Yes, the ChatKit store interface requires pagination for thread and item management. A complete in-memory store implementation must satisfy all 14 required methods defined by the interface, which explicitly includes pagination alongside attachment handling.

Yes, you can adapt an in-memory ChatKit store for production database-backed storage. The in-memory implementation is designed to be easily extensible, allowing you to transition from simple prototyping storage to a persistent database solution.

The primary limitation of an in-memory store for ChatKit threads is data volatility, as storage is not persistent across restarts. It is strictly suitable for development, testing, and prototyping environments rather than production data retention.
