Factorial Code Datastore

Factorial Code Datastore is a robust key-value storage system that is both simple and fast. It’s designed to empower your processes through accessible source code integration.

With Factorial Code Datastore, you can store and retrieve data within your processes and modules, facilitating information sharing across different executions. Unlock a myriad of possibilities, including:

• Preserving process states between executions (e.g., maintaining the last loaded date for use in subsequent executions of an ETL process).
• Efficient session management (e.g., performing a login only if your session has expired).
• Maintaining a shared team global state (e.g., tracking counters, execution usage, and more).

Note

Factorial Code Datastore is only available in our paid plans. See our plans and limits page for more information.

Usage

Manipulating Datastore values is accomplished through the following Factorial Code commands:

JavaScript

Storing data

await fcode.datastore.set("key", "value");

Retrieving data

const value = await fcode.datastore.get("key");

Deleting data

await fcode.datastore.del("key");

Listing keys

// Get all keys
const allKeys = await fcode.datastore.keys();

// Get keys matching a pattern (e.g., all keys starting with "user:")
const userKeys = await fcode.datastore.keys("user-*");

Caution

Factorial Code Datastore can only store strings or numbers. If you need to store other types of data, you should convert them to strings before storing them (ie: JSON.stringify for objects).

Python

Storing data

fcode.datastore.set("key", "value")

Retrieving data

value = fcode.datastore.get("key")

Deleting data

fcode.datastore.delete("key")

Listing keys

# Get all keys
all_keys = fcode.datastore.keys()

# Get keys matching a pattern (e.g., all keys starting with "user:")
user_keys = fcode.datastore.keys("user-*")

Caution

Factorial Code Datastore can only store strings or numbers. If you need to store other types of data, you should convert them to strings before storing them (ie: json.dumps for objects).
