Prophet — Beijing Perl Workshop

“A grounded, peer-to-peer replicated, disconnected, versioned, property database with self-healing conflict resolution lets users keep sovereignty over their data while syncing across devices and peers. ”

Jesse introduces Prophet — an open-source peer-to-peer replicated database for offline and disconnected use — at the Beijing Perl Workshop. Frames cloud computing as digital sharecropping and argues for data sovereignty through P2P replication, complete version history, and self-healing conflict resolution. Closes with a demo of SD (Simple Defects), the bug tracker built on Prophet that would headline OSCON the next summer.
