All databases are [implemented](https://github.com/orbitdb/orbit-db-store) on top of [ipfs-log](https://github.com/orbitdb/ipfs-log), an immutable, operation-based conflict-free replicated data structure (CRDT) for distributed systems. If none of the OrbitDB database types match your needs and/or you need case-specific functionality, you can easily [implement and use a custom database store](https://github.com/orbitdb/orbit-db/blob/master/GUIDE.md#custom-stores) of your own.
#### Project status & support
Status: **in active development**
***NOTE!*** *OrbitDB is **alpha-stage** software. It means OrbitDB hasn't been security audited and programming APIs and data formats can still change. We encourage you to [reach out to the maintainers](https://gitter.im/orbitdb/Lobby) if you plan to use OrbitDB in mission critical systems.*
This is the Javascript implementation and it works both in **Browsers** and **Node.js** with support for Linux and OS X (Windows is not supported yet). The minimum required version of Node.js is now 8.0.0. To use with older versions of Node.js, we provide an ES5-compatible build through the npm package, located in `dist/es5/` when installed through npm.
