OrbitDB

OrbitDB is a decentralized database built on top of the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS). It provides a peer-to-peer storage solution for applications that require decentralized data management. OrbitDB allows developers to create and manage databases without relying on a central server, leveraging the distributed nature of IPFS to ensure data redundancy and resilience. The database supports various data structures, including key-value stores, document stores, and event logs, making it versatile for different types of applications. One of the key features of OrbitDB is its ability to handle access control, allowing developers to define who can read from or write to the database. This is achieved through a permission system that can be customized to fit the specific needs of an application. OrbitDB is designed to be easy to integrate with existing IPFS applications, providing a seamless way to add decentralized data storage capabilities. It is particularly useful for applications that require a high degree of data integrity and availability, such as decentralized social networks, content management systems, and collaborative tools. The project is open-source, encouraging community contributions and fostering innovation in the decentralized storage space.
