In this episode I’m joined by GUN founder Mark Nadal to discuss GUN.
GUN, also known as GUNDB, is a real-time, decentralized, offline-first, graph database. In practice, GUN provides a Javascript API that allows webapps to sync data between peers with no centralized server dependency. GUN peers use WebRTC and similar transport protocols to sync data to localStorage and IndexedDB in the client. GUN also provides access controls, which allow developers to store encrypted data on the network. The API can be used in browser tabs, on mobile apps, or run as a relay peer in a NodeJS process on a cloud instance.
In this conversation, GUN’s founding engineer Mark Nadal and I dive into the technical details to explain what makes GUN different from IPFS, WebRTC, and blockchains, and why so many devs are excited about GUN. I hope you enjoy the show.
