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
