Building an Event-Driven Database in NodeJS

[amark]

Wouldn't it be awesome if we had a database that was based on the same architecture as NodeJS itself? Well that is what us crazy mad scientists did, we built GUN and it hit the Top 4% of NPM on launch and was the #3 Top Trending javascript project on GitHub at the end of August.

To my javascript peers, come learn about how we built a P2P database in javascript with these fancy goodies:

• Fully decentralized and master-master, so you never have to wake up at 3am again to figure out why MongoDB crashed.
• Realtime state synchronization, without all the extra fuss Meteor shoves on you. Yet better than a simple socket.io which can't catch conflicting updates or persist.
• Offline-first for all those hipsters who want to be cool and let their users still get work done even when 'da internet is broke.
• Graphs! Because they're cool. Do anything, key/value, relational, document oriented, or even have circular references!

Cheers.

I generally share @aphyr's opinion here, but I'll be glad to hear how things develop.
