HyperDB — a scalable key-value store
A talk about a new fully P2P database Mathias has been developing called HyperDB. It is a massively scalable key-value store that works both directly in the browser and in node, written in JavaScript. Mathias will talk about how it works, the security model and show a bunch of cool demos of all the mad science you can do on top of it.
Mathias is a non-profit Node.js hacker based in Copenhagen, Denmark. He works full time on open source and in the Dat project, http://dat-data.com trying to build open tools to help scientists share datasets. Currently he maintains more than 400 modules on npm including a bunch of P2P and mad science stuff.
