NAME
Prophet
DESCRIPTION
Prophet is a distributed database system designed for small to medium scale social database applications. Our early targets include things
such as bug tracking.
Design goals
Arbitrary record schema
Replication
Disconnected operation
Peer to peer synchronization
Design constraints
Scaling
We don't currently intend for the first implementation of Prophet to scale to databases with millions of rows or hundreds of concurrent
users. There's nothing that makes the design infeasible, but the infrastructure necessary for such a system will...needlessly hamstring
it.
