GUN is an open‑source, peer‑to‑peer graph database written in JavaScript. It provides real‑time, offline‑first data synchronization with built‑in encryption.

Use cases

• Build offline‑first web apps that sync data across browsers without a central server
• Create real‑time collaborative editors or chat applications using peer‑to‑peer state sharing
• Store and query graph‑structured data directly in the browser or Node.js
• Develop decentralized social platforms or content sharing services
• Implement end‑to‑end encrypted data storage for privacy‑focused applications

When to choose

• You need peer‑to‑peer data synchronization with no reliance on a central backend
• Your application must work offline and later sync changes automatically
• You want a lightweight JavaScript‑only solution that runs both in Node and the browser
• You require built‑in encryption for data at rest and in transit

When to avoid

• You need strong ACID transactions or complex relational queries
• Your workload involves large‑scale analytics or heavy aggregation
• You require a mature, enterprise‑grade database with official support contracts
• You need built‑in sharding, replication across data centers, or SQL compatibility
