Officially supported database adapters
sails-disk
https://github.com/balderdashy/sails-disk/
Write to your computer's hard disk, or a mounted network drive. Not suitable for at-scale production deployments, but great for a small project, and essential for developing in environments where you may not always have a database set up. This adapter is bundled with Sails and works out of the box with zero configuration.
Interfaces implemented:

sails-memory
