About ThreadDB
ThreadDB is a multi-party database built on IPFS and Libp2p that provides an alternative architecture for data on the web. ThreadDB aims to help power a new generation of web technologies by combining a novel use of event sourcing, Interplanetary Linked Data (IPLD), and access control to provide a distributed, scalable, and flexible database solution for decentralized applications. There are two implementations of ThreadDB, the first is written in Go. The second implementation is written in JavaScript (Typescript, really). This implementation has some optimizations to make it more ideal when writing web applications. The JavaScript implementation is currently a Client of the Go implementation. You can run it against your own go-threads instance or connect it to the Textile Hub to use one of ours. In general, when building apps that use threads in a remote context, like the browser, it's best to push the networking later to remote services whenever possible.

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.

WatermelonDB
WatermelonDB is a reactive database framework designed to build powerful React and React Native apps that scale from hundreds to tens of thousands of records while remaining fast. It ensures instant app launch regardless of data volume, supports lazy loading to load data only when needed, and offers offline-first capabilities with synchronization to your own backend. It is multiplatform. Optimized for React, it allows easy integration of data into components and is framework-agnostic, enabling the use of its JavaScript API with other UI frameworks. Built on a robust SQLite foundation, WatermelonDB provides static typing with Flow or TypeScript and optional reactivity through an RxJS API. WatermelonDB addresses performance issues in complex applications by loading nothing until requested and performing all querying directly on SQLite on a separate native thread, ensuring most queries resolve instantly.
