Noms is a decentralized, versioned database written in Go, philosophically descended from Git, that stores structured data with full history, branching, and efficient synchronization between disconnected instances. The project is explicitly unmaintained; its actively maintained successor is Dolt.

Use cases

  • store structured data with full version history like git for databases
  • sync a database between disconnected instances and reconcile changes
  • branch and rewind a dataset to any previous version
  • diff two versions of a large structured dataset efficiently
  • back a content-addressed database with S3 or a local filesystem

When to choose

  • you need a git-like versioned structured database for research or experimentation
  • you want to study prolly-trees or content-addressed database design
  • you're building on the lineage that led to Dolt

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained production database - use Dolt instead
  • you need SQL queries or a rich ecosystem of tooling
  • you require long-term support or bug fixes
