What is MeshyDB?
MeshyDB is an open-source, decentralized database platform built for privacy and high availability. It allows users to store, query, and manage data in a peer-to-peer network rather than relying on a centralized database server.
Some key features of MeshyDB include:
- Distributed hash tables for data storage and lookup - This allows data to be stored and retrieved from multiple peer nodes in the network.
- End-to-end encryption - Data is encrypted before leaving the client device for added privacy.
- Data replication and automated failover - Multiple copies of the data are stored to ensure high availability. If one peer node goes offline, the data remains available.
- SQL-like query language - Supports a SQL-like language for querying data stored in the decentralized database.
- Open source - Released under the AGPL license for transparency and community contribution.
By decentralizing data storage and management, MeshyDB offers increased privacy, redundancy against hardware failures, and eliminates centralized points of failure or control. Its peer-to-peer architecture makes it scalable for small and large applications.
