Hyperdrive is a JavaScript library implementing a secure, real-time distributed file system built on Hypercore and Hyperbee. It provides a filesystem-like API (put, get, list, symlink, streams) for storing and peer-to-peer replicating files with cryptographic verification.

Use cases

• build a peer-to-peer file sharing application in Node.js
• sync files between devices in real time without a central server
• store and replicate app data in a distributed file system
• create a decentralized static site or blob storage
• share large datasets cryptographically verified between peers
• mount versioned file storage backed by append-only logs

When to choose

• you need a filesystem-like API over peer-to-peer replication
• you want serverless, cryptographically verifiable file distribution
• you are building on the Holepunch/Pear stack with Hypercore and Corestore
• you need real-time sync of files between peers without centralized hosting

When to avoid

• you need POSIX-compliant mounting on an OS filesystem
• you require a traditional centralized object storage service with access control
• your project is not in the JavaScript/Node.js ecosystem
• you need SQL or structured query support rather than file storage
