Database
Starting up the database for the developer environment
Choose which database you want to use based on your Developer role
You should go with this option if you are making changes to the database on the fly. This will only migrate the changes in your current SQLite environment. This should specifically be used if you are constantly iterating on the API.
Local SQLiteYou should go with this option if you need data to interact with and won't be changing the Strapi models at all. More specifically, if you are developing on the frontend, use this staging database to get relevant data, so you don't have to populate it on your local environment.
Do not change Strapi models without guidance
Please do not change Strapi models while using this database. The database will become un-synced if more than one developer is actively iterating on the database.
Furthermore, if you do use this option, please make sure you have pulled the latest code regarding database migrations before changing anything.
