The areas I'm passionate about are databases, applied cryptography, and distributed systems. I feel very fortunate to have a wonderful family and to work on topics I enjoy. As a sports enthusiast and fruit freak, I eat a lot of fruit.
immudb was started to fill the growing gap between traditional databases and blockchain technology. Blockchain technology provides data verification, trusted data versioning and integrity at the cost of performance and an increased level of complexity.
Furthermore, users were missing backup and restore capabilities, SQL standard, blob storage and much more. With immudb we developed a best of both worlds mix, a K/V+SQL database that runs lightning fast, supports large volumes of data, can be embedded and provides cryptographic data verification for its clients.
The fascination of immutable data, where it is needed and valuable and eventually my vision of the future with tamper resistant information.
When we noticed that more and more companies and projects used immudb to provide serious applications we decided to provide commercial support plans. Running an immutable data structure with client-verifiability comes with important design and operational questions. We support companies in the planning and design phase, custom development and operational tasks.
It was quite challenging to design and build the underlying key-value store with built-in verification capabilities. With the project maturing, several critical problems had to be overcome, including performance concerns and maintenance tasks.
Spreading immudb is the most challenging non-technical challenge. The technology is relatively new, and we believe it will be included in many interesting use cases dealing with sensitive data in the future.
immudb has proven stable in environments with high loads. In addition to being a secondary database, it can also be used as a primary database. immudb will continue to lead the way in database verification in the future.
The use of immudb is becoming easier with each release. Simplicity is our goal while dealing with complexity under the hood.
We welcome any type of contribution: asking questions, reporting issues, sharing examples, improving documentation, fixing issues or proposing new features.
We have an active Discord channel.

Life can be shorter than you can imagine. My mother passed away during my first year at university. One of her last pieces of advice to me was to avoid getting into too much trouble about things, but to make sure I did them correctly.
It is essential to do things well, but to find joy along the way as well.
I work as a system or backend developer. In other areas, I'm terrible.
As a pragmatic developer, I felt in love with Go toolset, that in conjunction with GitHub actions are the critical tools I need.
I keep learning about storage and distributed systems. Other than that, this 2022 I started swimming in cold water.
Think high-level about the problem they are solving, it's better to start with a flexible design, foreseeing evolution, and delimiting boundaries. I take a significant amount of time before actually coding.
I'd suggest Andy Pavlo.
One book that had a significant influence in design skill was "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software" by Erich Gamma, et al.
I also found "Applied Cryptography" by Bruce Schneier quite interesting.
Thank you so much for letting me share about our project and personal experiences with you.
