What are Distributed Databases?
Distributed databases store data across multiple physical locations, often across different servers or even geographical regions, allowing for high availability and scalability. Unlike traditional databases, distributed databases divide data and workloads among nodes in a network, providing faster access and load balancing. They are designed to be resilient, with redundancy and data replication ensuring that data remains accessible even if some nodes fail. Distributed databases are essential for applications that require quick access to large volumes of data across multiple locations, such as global eCommerce, finance, and social media. By decentralizing data storage, they support high-performance, fault-tolerant operations that scale with an organization’s needs.

BigchainDB
BigchainDB
With high throughput, low latency, powerful query functionality, decentralized control, immutable data storage and built-in asset support, BigchainDB is like a database with blockchain characteristics. BigchainDB allows developers and enterprise to deploy blockchain proof-of-concepts, platforms and applications with a blockchain database, supporting a wide range of industries and use cases. Rather than trying to enhance blockchain technology, BigchainDB starts with a big data distributed database and then adds blockchain characteristics - decentralized control, immutability and the transfer of digital assets. No single point of control. No single point of failure. Decentralized control via a federation of voting nodes makes for a P2P network. Write and run any MongoDB query to search the contents of all stored transactions, assets, metadata and blocks. Powered by MongoDB itself. -

Holochain
Holochain
An end-to-end open source P2P app framework. Local circles of trust provide data integrity without centralized authorities. Holochain delivers the promises of blockchain with a mashup of proven tech that provides self-owned data, a distributed database, and peer accountability. Holochain helps by creating an alternative to the dominant centralized systems of the Internet, protecting our ability to make our own choices, and giving trustworthy information we can act on. We call this 'digital agency', and we believe it will give us the power to face today's complex problems, together. Access other Holochain apps as if they were part of your codebase. No HTTP client, just function calls with optional access control. Compute and data live at the edges, which means there’s no infrastructure for you to maintain and defend. Holochain automatically adapts to disruptions and threats.
