Welcome to all of our new users! Here's a little write up about what makes Fireproof unique and how you can get involved in this open source project.
Hardware hacker uses Fireproof to create a serverless web-based drum machine for real time collaboration on group bicycle rides.
Fireproof participated in Europe's longest-running, beloved Node.js conference in Ireland, along with 200 others for three days of talks and workshops on open source innovation, performance optimization, and software quality.
With the world’s energy infrastructure becoming increasingly software driven, cybersecurity is more important than ever.
AI agents are powerful tools for automating tasks and making decisions, but they need to manage their state effectively to perform well. This article explores the challenges of state management for AI agents and how Fireproof can help.
Fireproof is an embedded database that brings seamless live sync to any infrastructure, allowing developers to build rich, local-first, collaborative apps.
Cloud launch is coming soon
Ensuring continuous availability for in-flight services with local-first collaboration tools
Web apps built using local first principles provide responsive, fluid user interfaces that people love. Utilized by high profile mega-hits such as Canva, Figma, and Notion, local first is getting quite a bit of attention. This article explores how Fireproof builds on existing concepts to create a new type of 'data anywhere' application.
Being a professional trader is a demanding job. One thing a trader can do to increase their chances of success is utilize the right tools. Fireproof is part of a rising trend – software from the ‘local first’ movement that’s being adopted in financial circles. Fireproof offers two key benefits: accelerated application performance, which results in faster, more accurate trades, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing your financial research and strategies are safely stored on hardware you control. For professional traders looking to get ahead in their intensely competitive profession, there aren’t many other moves available that can offer such impressive results.
Object storage has evolved significantly, becoming crucial for modern databases. It offers scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency for handling large volumes of unstructured data. Databases like Fireproof leverage object storage for features such as content addressing and end-to-end encryption, ensuring data integrity and security across diverse environments.
Selem Delul was surprised by how often he needed to write checks after moving to the US, so he created a simple app, QuickCheck, to print them at home, leveraging Fireproof for secure, offline-capable data management.
Imagine a data storage system that automatically keeps track of provenance for each piece of data – where it came from, who created it and when, whether it has changed since being created, if so when and by whom. It would be useful in many scenarios – the greater the value of the data itself, the more important its provenance. In the world of finance, data provenance is often critical, especially when high-stakes decisions are being made. This article explores additional specific benefits to the Fireproof system architecture previously outlined, and how each one can be implemented.
A cryptographically secure trading desk system leverages local-first architecture and immutable logging to ensure instant, confidential strategy execution with bulletproof accountability.
Read about contributor Meno Abels who has refactored Fireproof's core database engine, enhanced our TypeScript structure to support dynamic runtimes, implemented a pluggable storage system, and worked on a new connector gateway.
Modern vehicles collect event data to enhance safety, using cryptographic proofs to ensure data integrity and security. Event Data Recorders (EDRs) capture critical information during incidents, providing valuable insights for safety improvements and analysis. By prioritizing data uploads and leveraging cryptographic proofs, manufacturers can enhance safety features and protect user privacy.
As we enter the AI era, there’s another important trend underway – the shifting development focus to the frontend, keeping data near the users, where it is created and used.
