Kore - The Embedded Distributed Log Datastore
Looking for a simple embedded database to store and manage your data across multiple devices? Kore is the solution you need.
First we had Lambda. Then we had Kappa...
Now we have KORE!
Kore - The Embedded Distributed Log Datastore
Is Kore for me?
Kore is ideal for you if you have an app with users on multiple devices (say phone, pad, and desktop) and need a simple storage solution without needing to learn a query language or do any complicated object-relational mappings.
Kore is embedded so deployment is much simpler - no need to install and manage a separate database server.
Kore handles disconnections (on your commute - or on your yatch!) automatically. It will synchronize with any upstream nodes correctly, handling all the complicated edge cases of managing distributed data. Users never need to worry about not being able to "reach the server".
Kore allows you to quickly and easily set up your initial data, improve your handling of it iteratively, and handle cross device synchronization with near-realtime updates.
Is Kore NOT for me?
Kore is not for you if you need a database with a heavy load (thousands of requests a minute), or you need the database to do a lot of processing/complex queries.
Otherwise Kore is an excellent option you could keep in your toolbox. It's the 'lighter sqllite' you have been looking for :-D
How to Contribute to Kore
