  • (Relational) Databases can be in-memory. And unless you have very little data, your in-memory storage will probably turn into a database, and if it’s relational it might even turn into a pseudo-relational one. Just without all the benefits of 1000 of dev-hours of optimization. But next, you also need to persist your data. And you probably don’t want to lose everything if your app crashes. More stuff that is already done for you, if you use a non-memory database that probably will hold all frequently accessed data in memory anyway. And there are many, many more issues like that.
