immudb is an open-source immutable database written in Go that stores data in SQL, key-value, or document models while guaranteeing tamper-evidence through cryptographic proofs and Merkle-tree verification. It can run as a standalone server, in Docker, or embedded as a library, handling millions of transactions per second.

Use cases

• store tamper-proof audit logs for compliance
• track changes to sensitive data with cryptographic verification
• replace blockchain or ledger services for data integrity
• keep an immutable history of record changes for auditors
• store sensor or IoT data that cannot be altered
• embed a lightweight verifiable database in a Go application

When to choose

• you need provable data integrity and tamper-evidence without trusting the database server
• you need SQL, key-value, and document models in one immutable store
• you need high throughput (millions of tx/s) unlike blockchain solutions
• compliance requirements like GDPR, PCI-DSS, or audit trails apply
• you want time-travel queries and data change reports

When to avoid

• you need to update or delete records in place - immudb only allows adding new versions
• you need a general-purpose operational database with rich ecosystem tooling like PostgreSQL
• you need heavy analytical or full-text search workloads
• your stack lacks an immudb SDK and you cannot use JDBC/ODBC
