In their own words

ActorDB

ActorDB is an open-source distributed relational SQL database from Biokoda that organizes data into independent actors. SQLite handles SQL queries and LMDB provides storage. Applications connect through the MySQL protocol or Thrift, and the FAQ recommends Thrift; default MySQL drivers also work. ActorDB uses Raft for distributed consensus and write replication, and describes itself as strongly consistent. Transactions can span multiple actors and are described as ACID compliant. It can also provide a sharded key-value store with structured values, multiple columns, and foreign tables. The maker says horizontal scaling can reach hundreds of nodes and petabytes when data is spread across actors. If a server fails, a follower can lead an actor while a cluster majority remains online. Recommended cluster sizes are 1, 3, or 5 nodes. Supported downloads include Windows, Mac OS X, CentOS, and Ubuntu, with version 0.10.29 dated 1 October 2019 shown as the latest stable release.
