orbit-db - Peer-to-Peer Databases for the Decentralized Web

OrbitDB is a serverless, distributed, peer-to-peer database. OrbitDB uses IPFS as its data storage and IPFS Pubsub to automatically sync databases with peers. It's an eventually consistent database that uses CRDTs for conflict-free database merges making OrbitDB an excellent choice for decentralized apps (dApps), blockchain applications and offline-first web applications.

OrbitDB provides various types of databases for different data models and use cases:

• log: an immutable (append-only) log with traversable history. Useful for "latest N" use cases or as a message queue.
• feed: a mutable log with traversable history. Entries can be added and removed. Useful for "shopping cart" type of use cases, or for example as a feed of blog posts or "tweets".
• keyvalue: a key-value database just like your favourite key-value database.
• docs: a document database to which JSON documents can be stored and indexed by a specified key. Useful for building search indices or version controlling documents and data.
• counter: Useful for counting events separate from log/feed data.
