In plain words

Noms is a decentralized database system designed for developers, built on concepts borrowed from version control software like Git. It launched in 2016 and provides an alternative approach to traditional database architecture by incorporating familiar Git-like principles into data management. The tool is aimed at software engineers looking for a different way to structure and handle databases in their applications.
