Description

Ditto is the only mobile database with built-in edge device connectivity and resiliency, enabling apps to synchronize without relying on a central server or constant cloud connectivity. With billions of edge devices and deskless workers driving operations and revenue, businesses are hitting the limits of what traditional cloud architectures can offer. Trusted by Chick-fil-A, Delta, Lufthansa, Japan Airlines, and more, Ditto is pioneering the edge-native revolution, transforming how businesses connect, sync, and operate at the edge. By eliminating hardware dependencies, Ditto’s software-driven networking is enabling businesses to build faster, more resilient systems that thrive at the edge – no Wi-Fi, servers, or cloud required. Through the use of CRDTs and P2P mesh replication, Ditto's technology enables you to build collaborative, resilient applications where data is always available and up-to-date for every user, and can even be synced in completely offline situations. This allows you to keep mission-critical systems online when it matters most. Ditto uses an edge-native architecture. Edge-native solutions are built specifically to thrive on mobile and edge devices, without relying solely on cloud-based services. Devices running Ditto apps can discover and communicate with each other directly, forming an ad-hoc mesh network rather than routing everything through a cloud server. The platform automatically handles the complexity of discovery and connectivity using both online and offline channels – Bluetooth, peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, local LAN, WiFi, Cellular – to find nearby devices and sync data changes in real-time.

Description

OrbitDB functions as a decentralized, serverless, peer-to-peer database that leverages IPFS for data storage and utilizes Libp2p Pubsub for seamless synchronization among peers. It incorporates Merkle-CRDTs to facilitate conflict-free writing and merging of database entries, making it ideal for decentralized applications, blockchain projects, and web apps designed to operate primarily offline. The platform provides a range of database types that cater to distinct requirements: 'events' serves as immutable append-only logs, 'documents' allows for JSON document storage indexed by specific keys, 'keyvalue' offers conventional key-value pair storage, and 'keyvalue-indexed' provides LevelDB-indexed key-value data. Each of these database types is constructed on OpLog, a structure that is immutable, cryptographically verifiable, and based on operation-driven CRDT principles. The JavaScript implementation is compatible with both browser and Node.js environments, while a version in Go is actively maintained by the Berty project, ensuring a wide range of support for developers. This flexibility and adaptability make OrbitDB a powerful choice for those looking to implement modern data solutions in distributed systems.

Product Features

Embedded Database

Ditto is a revolutionary embedded database tailored for mobile and edge computing devices, transcending conventional local storage solutions. Unlike standard embedded databases that function independently, Ditto features integrated peer-to-peer synchronization and edge-aware connectivity, allowing devices to exchange data seamlessly without the need for a central server or continuous internet availability. At the heart of Ditto lies a CRDT-based (Conflict-Free Replicated Data Type) engine, which ensures robust eventual consistency across distributed nodes, even in scenarios where devices are offline, partitioned, or primarily designed for mobile use. This capability enables developers to create highly resilient and collaborative applications, ensuring that data remains local while automatically syncing across devices as connectivity is established. Ditto simplifies the intricacies of connectivity through dynamic, channel-agnostic discovery. Devices utilizing Ditto can form spontaneous mesh networks via Bluetooth, peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, LAN, cellular, or a combination of these technologies, enabling real-time synchronization of data changes.

Integration

Ditto is an innovative offline-first mobile database crafted to integrate effortlessly into your existing applications, providing consistent access to data, peer-to-peer synchronization, and resilience even in the most challenging connectivity situations. With Ditto, you can enhance your current mobile infrastructure by adding modern offline functionalities. This solution eliminates the need for constant cloud connectivity or unreliable network links, allowing your app to operate dependably in completely offline environments. Its integrated synchronization system utilizes peer-to-peer and mesh networking to maintain device synchronization without the necessity of a central server. Regardless of whether your users are traveling, in subterranean locations, airborne, or simply out of reach of Wi-Fi, Ditto guarantees their data is consistently updated and shared in real time with nearby devices. Synchronization occurs automatically through Bluetooth, peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, LAN, or cellular networks—whichever is accessible. You won't need to develop custom synchronization logic or deal with conflict resolution; Ditto takes care of everything for you.

Offline-First Databases

Ditto is a mobile database designed with an offline-first approach, ensuring that data remains accessible locally and consistently across various devices, even in completely disconnected scenarios. At its foundation, Ditto leverages Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs) to manage conflicts automatically and provide robust eventual consistency, eliminating the need for developers to create custom merge solutions. However, Ditto goes beyond the capabilities of typical offline-first databases. It innovates by enabling offline-first applications to synchronize seamlessly, even without an internet connection. Ditto stands out as the sole offline-first database that incorporates integrated peer-to-peer and mesh networking, allowing devices to connect and sync directly without relying on cloud or server infrastructure. In the absence of a network connection, Ditto-equipped devices can locate and synchronize with nearby devices using Bluetooth, peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, LAN, or cellular networks—ensuring timely updates, even in challenging environments.
