RxDB

RxDB is a NoSQL database for JavaScript that runs inside an application and keeps data locally on the client. It supports offline operation, including applications that run entirely without a backend. When synchronization is needed, its Sync Engine connects to backends including RxServer, GraphQL, Firebase, Supabase, MongoDB, NATS, HTTP, CouchDB, WebRTC, Appwrite, Google Drive, and Microsoft OneDrive. Observable queries update as stored data changes. RxDB runs in browsers, mobile apps, desktop applications, and servers, with storage options including LocalStorage, IndexedDB, OPFS, SQLite, Node.js Filesystem, Expo Filesystem, MongoDB, and FoundationDB, among others. Collections use JSON Schema with validation and migration support. An encryption plugin protects locally stored documents with a password in browsers, React Native, and Node.js. The free tier is under Apache 2.0 and allows up to 13 open collections in parallel. Free users get community support through GitHub and Discord; Enterprise includes an SLA with a 24-hour first response. Pro costs $99 a month billed annually, and Pro Plus costs $239 a month billed annually.
