OrbisDB

OrbisDB is a developer-friendly interface to explore data with the ease of SQL and a plugin store to save development time on processes like data migration and gating mechanisms all the way to automated blockchain interactions.

How to get started?​

OrbisDB comes with an easy-to-use shared instance called Orbis Studio which provides developers with a user-friendly interface to start interacting with data stored on Ceramic and use a library of available plugins right away without worrying about managing the backend requirements. Get access to Orbis Studio in closed beta and start building using OrbisDB.

Key components​

OrbisDB consists of two main components - core and plugins.

  • Core:

    • Dedicated to read/write operation of the indexing service
    • Listens to stream changes of specific models being used by developers and indexes the content in a Postgres database.

  • Plugins:

    • Optional and designed to perform operations beyond the core’s scope.
    • Divided into 4 categories (Create streams, Add metadata, Validate and Post process). More details about plugins underneath.

OrbisDB SDK​

OrbisDB comes with a easy-to-use OrbisDB SDK for writing the data to the OrbisDB instance as well as querying the data needed for your applications.
