ObjectBox
The Edge Database and Sync Solution.
Overview
ObjectBox is not a full edge platform, but a critical component: a super-fast, object-oriented embedded database designed for mobile and IoT devices. It allows edge applications to store and query data locally with very high performance and a small footprint. Combined with ObjectBox Sync, it enables seamless and efficient data synchronization between edge devices and between the edge and the cloud, even with intermittent connectivity. It is a tool for developers building edge applications.
