The only thing glitch support can really do is include prebuilt versions of better-sqlite3 in their pnpm store which might happen since this is used a lot in node applications.
Hi there, I’m sorry you’re running into this! I have the same long install time for this package, so I think it’s just a bit too hefty a package to be installed in a Glitch project. I’ll make a ticket to see if this is something we’re able to include prebuilt on containers.
He Jenn. Just as a point of info, I use better-sqlite3 as well. It can take a minute when it decides to build the library again but I haven’t found it to be burdensome. On the other hand I have the project boosted so it doesn’t do it often.
