ThreadDB Description
ThreadDB serves as a multi-party database leveraging IPFS and Libp2p, offering a distinct framework for online data management. Its purpose is to support the emergence of advanced web technologies by merging innovative event sourcing techniques, Interplanetary Linked Data (IPLD), and robust access control, creating a distributed, scalable, and adaptable database solution ideal for decentralized applications. There are two distinct versions of ThreadDB; the first is implemented in Go, while the second is crafted in JavaScript (technically TypeScript), which includes enhancements tailored for optimal web application development. The JavaScript version functions as a client to the Go version, allowing users to either operate it with their own go-threads instance or connect it to the Textile Hub for access to shared resources. Generally speaking, when developing applications that utilize threads in remote environments like browsers, it's advisable to defer networking tasks to remote services whenever feasible, thereby improving performance and efficiency. This approach not only streamlines application design but also enhances user experience across various platforms.

Source Defense
Source Defense is an essential element of web safety that protects data at the point where it is entered. Source Defense Platform is a simple, yet effective solution to data security and privacy compliance. It addresses threats and risks that arise from the increased use JavaScript, third party vendors, and open source code in your web properties. The Platform offers options for securing code as well as addressing an ubiquitous gap in managing third-party digital supply chains risk - controlling actions of third-party, forth-party and nth-party JavaScript that powers your website experience.
Source Defense Platform provides protection against all types of client-side security incidents, including keylogging, formjacking and digital skimming. Magecart is also protected. - by extending the web security beyond the browser to the server.

Apify
Apify provides the infrastructure developers need to build, deploy, and monetize web automation tools. The platform centers on Apify Store, a marketplace featuring 10,000+ community-built Actors. These are serverless programs that scrape websites, automate browser tasks, and power AI agents.
Developers create Actors using JavaScript, Python, or Crawlee (Apify's open-source crawling library), then publish them to the Store. When other users run your Actor, you earn money. Apify manages the infrastructure, handles payments, and processes monthly payouts to thousands of active developers.
Apify Store offers ready-to-use solutions for common use cases: extracting data from Amazon, Google Maps, and social platforms; monitoring prices; generating leads; and much more.
Under the hood, Actors automatically manage proxy rotation, CAPTCHA solving, JavaScript-heavy pages, and headless browser orchestration. The platform scales on demand with 99.95% uptime and maintains SOC2, GDPR, and CCPA compliance.
For workflow automation, Apify connects to Zapier, Make, n8n, and LangChain. The platform also offers an MCP server, enabling AI assistants like Claude to discover and invoke Actors programmatically.

OrbitDB
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.
