- Should not be used for production (from official documentation):
- "Out of the box, the ArchivesSpace distribution runs against an embedded database, but this is only suitable for demonstration purposes.

MySQL offers significantly better performance when multiple people are using the system, and will ensure that your data is kept safe."
