AntidoteDB

Welcome to the Antidote repository, the reference platform of the SyncFree European Project and the LightKone European Project.

Description

AntidoteDB is a highly available geo-replicated key-value database. AntidoteDB provides features that help programmers to write correct applications while having the same performance and horizontal scalability as AP/NoSQL databases. Furthermore, AntidoteDB operations are based on the principle of synchronization-free execution by using Conflict-free replicated datatypes (CRDTs).

Features

CRDTs

High-level replicated data types that are designed to work correctly in the presence of concurrent updates and partial failures.

Highly Available Transactions

Traditional ACID transactions were built for single-machine deployments. On the one hand, it is expensive to implement ACID transactions in distributed deployments. On the other hand, highly-available transactions (HAT) provide strong consistency within a data center, but still perform well in geo-replicated deployments.

Geo-replication

Designed to run on multiple servers in locations distributed world-wide. It provides continuous functioning even when there are failures or network partition.
