eDB — Embedded Database
eDB is the EoS embedded database — a single, embeddable engine that speaks SQL, document, and key-value, exposes a REST API, ships JWT auth, and encrypts data at rest with AES-256.
What eDB is
Where embedded apps usually pick between SQLite (relational), a JSON file (document), and a config blob (KV), eDB gives you all three in one process — pick the right model per collection without spinning up another database.
REST and capability-gated EIPC access make it equally usable from a local app, a remote service, or a federation of devices.
Features
The shape of eDB at a glance.
Three Data Models
SQL tables, JSON documents, key-value buckets — same transaction surface.
REST API
Auto-generated CRUD endpoints with OpenAPI schemas.
JWT Auth
Pluggable identity providers; per-collection ACLs.
AES-256 At Rest
File-level encryption; keys rooted in the eBoot chain-of-trust.
Replication
Multi-master CRDT-based sync across nodes; conflict-free by construction.
Time-Travel Queries
Query past snapshots; built-in audit log per collection.
EIPC Binding
Native capability-gated access from any EoS process.
Backup & Restore
Point-in-time snapshot, encrypted offsite backup.
Embeddable
< 2 MB binary; runs in-process or as a shared service.
