What is Gun?

GUN is an open-source, real-time graph database written entirely in JavaScript. Designed with a peer-to-peer architecture, it offers surprising fault tolerance and an approachable onboarding experience, making it an intriguing alternative to traditional database solutions. Spanning over a year of development, the latest version of GUN boasts the ability to handle up to 5,000 messages per second, delivering seamless end-to-end communication between the browser and the application's user interface, with zero perceptible lag. Likened to a "Dropbox for Web Developers" or an "Open Source Firebase," GUN provides a versatile and scalable data management solution for modern web applications
