> Syncbase: "Offline-first and peer-to-peer, Syncbase provides local storage that opportunistically syncs data". I have an application for that _right now_. Syncbase doesn't look ready though, does anyone know of an alternative data store that ticks all those boxes? e.g. I was looking at Cognito, but it lacks peer-to-peer.
Nothing else does what vanadium does, especially at its sophistication level. I don't know if I'd use it in production yet unless you are willing to put in some engineering resources, but you're unlikely to find something else as well made elsewhere. This is the product of a very elite team... which means it's also very complicated to use.

#32It looks like a lot of the Googlers previously working on the project has now moved to Grail bio.

#33Earlier quoted context omitted.
The core repository has an AUTHORS file, and the only entry is "Google, Inc." Disclaimer: I work for Google, but I have no idea what this is.
You keep using that word ("disclaimer"), I do not think it means what you think it means.

#35 Note
Requiring a cloud Syncbase is temporary. We are planning to allow the API to be used without a cloud Syncbase soon.
Does it mean that the following use case will be supported:I have two devices in the same LAN with no internet access, and they will be able to synchronize ?

#36I ported vanadium and syncbase to iOS. Happy to answer questions. Yes indeed this is a google project but is now being taken on by its original lead, and former head of search infrastructure, now at Grail bio.
Also, why are syncbase sources not on github?

The project looks interesting but something about it rubs me the wrong way. Which organization is behind vanadium? Is it google? Then how is grail bio involved? Or is it a side project of google employees who now work at grail bio? I'm confused. Also, why are syncbase sources not on github?

#40I left Google in May of this year and joined Grail, where we're developing an NGS-based blood test to detect cancer early, when it can still be cured. We're using Vanadium for the infrastructure we need to support our internal development and analysis pipelines. Since I left Google Vanadium was split into a 'core' component (security, rpc, naming) and syncbase separately. The core component is very stable, syncbase is likely stable but not quite complete. We're currently using only Vanadium core.
To answer some point questions: - yes, this is the project Jeff Nichol's is referring to - and here, https://arxiv.org/pdf/1604.06959v2.pdf
