Orbit DB

OrbitDB, Nov 12, 2019

Something that's bothered me for a long time has been how to have a local database that syncs with an online or cloud database. Orbit addresses this. From the website: " 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." I haven't tried it yet, but it's on my list.
