Introduction

Basic Concepts

WebSockets

The Bluzelle database communicates over WebSockets. Given an entry point (such as ws://bernoulli.bluzelle.com:51010), all communication happens over messages sent back and forth over the WebSocket.

Consensus

Being a decentralized database necessitates a system capable of synchronizing the states across the many nodes of the swarm. This is the responsibility of the consensus algorithm. Bluzelle currently implements the PBFT algorithm.

Example

Checkout the bluzelle-js library as an example.
