The specific in-memory database we’ll use is [H2](https://www.h2database.com/html/main.html). Fortunately, H2 is highly compatible with other relational databases, so dev-prod parity *(application might behave differently when running the in-memory database than when running in production)* won’t be a big issue. We’ll use H2 for **convenience for local development**, but want to recognize the tradeoffs.
