About 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.

Apache Accumulo
With Apache Accumulo, users can store and manage large data sets across a cluster. Accumulo uses Apache Hadoop's HDFS to store its data and Apache ZooKeeper for consensus. While many users interact directly with Accumulo, several open source projects use Accumulo as their underlying store. To learn more about Accumulo, take the Accumulo tour, read the user manual and run the Accumulo example code. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Accumulo has a programming mechanism (called Iterators) that can modify key/value pairs at various points in the data management process. Every Accumulo key/value pair has its own security label which limits query results based off user authorizations. Accumulo runs on a cluster using one or more HDFS instances. Nodes can be added or removed as the amount of data stored in Accumulo changes.

BergDB
Welcome! BergDB is a Java/.NET database designed to be simple and efficient. It was created for us developers who prefer to focus on our specific task, rather then spend time on database issues. BergDB has: simple key-value storage, ACID transactions, historic queries, efficient concurrency control, secondary indexes, fast append-only storage, replication, transparent object serialization and more. BergDB is an embedded, open-source, document-oriented, schemaless, NoSQL database. BergDB is built from the ground up to execute transactions exceptionally fast. And there are no compromises, all writes to the database are made in ACID transactions with the highest possible level of consistency (in SQL-speak: serializable isolation level). Historic queries are important when previous data states are of interest, and also as a fast way to handle concurrency. A read operation never locks anything in BergDB.
