Apache sling without file system

[Nikita <ni...@yandex.ru>]

Good day!

Please tell me whether it is possible to teach sling not to save data in the
file system. I want to use only postgresql database to store files

As Chris says, Oak can use various databases for its backend storage.

However by default Sling will still need a filesystem for the OSGi
framework state, logs etc.

If this is a problem for you, changing that would require code changes
to the Sling core, or using a virtual filesystem.

If you have a hard requirement for postgres, you will want to look at the
Jackrabbit Persistence page [0] on the Sling site.

If you are more open to any DB, I would probably recommend using MongoDB.
There's a page here [1] for this.
