About GUN
Realtime, decentralized, offline-first, graph database engine. The data that needs to stored, loaded, and shared in your app without worrying about servers, network calls, databases, or tracking offline changes or concurrency conflicts. GUN is a small, easy, and fast data sync and storage system that runs everywhere JavaScript does. The aim of GUN is to let you focus on the data that needs to be stored, loaded, and shared in your app without worrying about servers, network calls, databases, or tracking offline changes or concurrency conflicts. This lets you build cool apps fast. GUN gives you the most powerful weapons of the internet — decentralization and real privacy — to reclaim the web and make it truly free and open. GUN is a database engine that runs everywhere JavaScript does — browsers, mobile devices and servers, allowing you to build exactly the data system you want.

OrbitDB
OrbitDB is a serverless, distributed, peer-to-peer database that utilizes IPFS for data storage and Libp2p Pubsub for automatic synchronization across peers. It employs Merkle-CRDTs to ensure conflict-free database writes and merges, making it suitable for decentralized applications, blockchain integrations, and local-first web apps. OrbitDB offers various database types tailored to different use cases: 'events' for immutable append-only logs, 'documents' for JSON document storage indexed by a specified key, 'keyvalue' for traditional key-value pairs, and 'keyvalue-indexed' for LevelDB-indexed key-value data. All these databases are built atop OpLog, an immutable, cryptographically verifiable, operation-based CRDT structure. The JavaScript implementation supports both browser and Node.js environments, with a Go version maintained by the Berty project.

InterBase
Ultrafast, scalable, embeddable SQL database with commercial-grade data security, disaster recovery, and change synchronization. Cross-platform, zero-install, embedded database as a direct-access library. Cross-platform, zero-install, embedded database with database-level and column-level AES and DES encryption. Concurrent applications/client access to the database on Windows with database-level and column-level AES and DES encryption. Ultrafast, scalable, SQL server database for Windows and Linux with commercial-grade data security, disaster recovery and change synchronization. Attacks on databases and loss of data can be costly and lead to loss of customers’ trust (and business), regulatory action, and heavy fines. InterBase provides over-the-wire and at-rest encryption, separate security login, and role-based user security. InterBase maintains full on-disk encryption while adding negligible overhead to database speed and performance.
