What it does

lightweight, high-speed immutable database. Open Source and written in Go. With immudb you can track changes in sensitive data in your transactional databases and then record those changes permanently in a tamperproof immudb database.

immudb is a ledger database with built-in cryptographic proof and verification. Store data that can be added but never changed or deleted, at millions of transactions per second.

immudb is a database with built-in cryptographic proof and verification. It tracks changes to sensitive data, and the integrity of that history is verified by the clients — without having to trust the server. immudb is a ledger database built for performance, scalability and versatility. Store records, text, images or JSON — a practical alternative to a blockchain or a hosted ledger service. Lightweight and fast enough to keep up with billions of transactions a day, and millions of transactions per second on high-end hardware. Data can only be added, never changed or deleted, and every read can be answered with a cryptographic proof. Built to stay up for months at a time, with synchronous…from immudb.io

    Hey there HN! We’re Joe and Stopa, and today we’re open sourcing InstantDB, a client-side database that makes it easy to build real-time and collaborative apps like Notion and Figma. Building modern apps these days involves a lot of schleps. For a basic CRUD app you need to spin up servers, wire up endpoints, integrate auth, add permissions, and then marshal data from the backend to the frontend and back again. If you want to deliver a buttery smooth user experience, you’ll need to add optimistic updates and rollbacks. We do these steps over and over for every feature we build, which can…

    I couldn't find a database that was immutable (like Datomic) and embedded (like SQLite), so I made one. The reference impl is in Zig and there are now ports for Java, Clojure, TypeScript, and Go.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
