An immutable append-only database

Noblit

Vaporware warning: much of the content below is hypothetical.

Noblit is an embeddable append-only database. The database records a history of immutable (entity, attribute, value) tuples. Tuples can be asserted and retracted. A retraction is recorded as a new fact; it is not a delete. Any historical state of the database can be reproduced, and the history is first-class and queryable.
