Description
OrbitDB is a serverless, distributed, peer-to-peer database management system tailored for the web3 era, empowering developers to create decentralized applications (dApps). It leverages the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) for data storage, with IPFS Pubsub for real-time database synchronization among peers, ensuring data availability and persistence without central servers. The system supports a variety of database types including key-value stores, document stores, and event logs. OrbitDB emphasizes on data sovereignty and privacy, utilizing Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs) for seamless, conflict-free data merges. This architecture makes it highly suitable for a range of applications such as social networks, supply chain management, content delivery networks, and collaborative platforms. The platform's feature set includes data encryption, identity management, and query capabilities, aligning with the decentralization, security, and scalability requirements of modern dApps, blockchain applications, and offline-first web applications.
