BigchainDB

BigchainDB is a decentralized database that uses blockchain. BigchainDB is highly scalable and customizable. It uses the Blockchain data structure. It supports features such as rich permissioning, petabytes capacity, advanced querying, linear scaling, and so on. At the time of writing this book, BigchainDB is not production-ready but can be used for building Proof of Concepts (PoCs). We will learn how it works, and will create a basic PoC using it, in later chapters.
