RxDB is a high-performance, local-first NoSQL database designed for modern JavaScript applications. It enables you to build applications that are fully functional offline, with data stored directly on the client. This local-first approach means your app remains fast and responsive, regardless of network connectivity, while data is seamlessly replicated in the background. You can sync with any backend or even build a completely serverless application.
One of its standout features is its reactive nature. In RxDB, everything is an observable stream—from query results to individual document fields. This makes building real-time user interfaces incredibly straightforward, as your UI automatically updates whenever data changes. It's built to be versatile, running in any JavaScript environment and offering a modular architecture.
