Description

Bolt is a key/value store written entirely in Go, drawing inspiration from Howard Chu's LMDB project. The primary aim of this initiative is to offer a straightforward, quick, and dependable database solution for smaller projects that do not need the complexity of a full-fledged database server like Postgres or MySQL. Given that Bolt serves as a foundational component, a focus on simplicity is paramount. The API is intentionally minimal, emphasizing only the essential operations of retrieving and storing values. This streamlined approach was central to Bolt's original vision: to create an uncomplicated pure Go key/value store without overwhelming it with unnecessary features. Consequently, the project has successfully achieved this goal. Nonetheless, the narrowly defined scope has led to the conclusion of the project's development. Managing an open source database is a labor-intensive endeavor that demands significant time and resources. Any modifications to the codebase can have unforeseen and potentially severe consequences, making even minor adjustments necessitate extensive testing and validation over prolonged periods. Additionally, the project's limited functionality allows users to focus on core database operations without the distractions of a more complex system.

Description

OrbitDB functions as a decentralized, serverless, peer-to-peer database that leverages IPFS for data storage and utilizes Libp2p Pubsub for seamless synchronization among peers. It incorporates Merkle-CRDTs to facilitate conflict-free writing and merging of database entries, making it ideal for decentralized applications, blockchain projects, and web apps designed to operate primarily offline. The platform provides a range of database types that cater to distinct requirements: 'events' serves as immutable append-only logs, 'documents' allows for JSON document storage indexed by specific keys, 'keyvalue' offers conventional key-value pair storage, and 'keyvalue-indexed' provides LevelDB-indexed key-value data. Each of these database types is constructed on OpLog, a structure that is immutable, cryptographically verifiable, and based on operation-driven CRDT principles. The JavaScript implementation is compatible with both browser and Node.js environments, while a version in Go is actively maintained by the Berty project, ensuring a wide range of support for developers. This flexibility and adaptability make OrbitDB a powerful choice for those looking to implement modern data solutions in distributed systems.
