OrbitDB
OrbitDB is a serverless, distributed, peer-to-peer database that utilizes IPFS for data storage and Libp2p Pubsub for automatic synchronization across peers. It employs Merkle-CRDTs to ensure conflict-free database writes and merges, making it suitable for decentralized applications, blockchain integrations, and local-first web apps. OrbitDB offers various database types tailored to different use cases: 'events' for immutable append-only logs, 'documents' for JSON document storage indexed by a specified key, 'keyvalue' for traditional key-value pairs, and 'keyvalue-indexed' for LevelDB-indexed key-value data. All these databases are built atop OpLog, an immutable, cryptographically verifiable, operation-based CRDT structure. The JavaScript implementation supports both browser and Node.js environments, with a Go version maintained by the Berty project.
