BigChain DB - How to use it?

[tryingluck77]

I found this project https://www.bigchaindb.com/

If any expert can give me insights on if we can use it as replacement to cloud storage and hosting?

and also how it works technically? is it a p2p storage

Keep me posted on this please

Damn! I feel I just a technically golden treasure right there !! Where did you come across this ? For now,they seem to have Api for only Python and Node.js backend languages.

Code:

const driver = require('bigchaindb-driver')

const alice = new driver.Ed25519Keypair()
const conn = new driver.Connection(
    'https://test.bigchaindb.com/api/v1/',
    { app_id: 'Get credentials from testnet.bigchaindb.com',
      app_key: 'by signing up and going to your Applications screen' })
const tx = driver.Transaction.makeCreateTransaction(
    { message: '' },
    null,
    [ driver.Transaction.makeOutput(
        driver.Transaction.makeEd25519Condition(alice.publicKey))],
    alice.publicKey)
const txSigned = driver.Transaction.signTransaction(tx, alice.privateKey)
conn.postTransaction(txSigned)

That is everything you need to know.Is there anything specific you need the information for ? This tutorial shows how you can host their server locally : https://docs.bigchaindb.com/projects/server/en/latest/quickstart.html .They also provide their network to take care of your server if you sign up and stuff.I'm still trying to implement this on a live platform.

I have been researching on it to get a blockchain to host files and web servers and pages. I came across to them

From my understanding, bigchaindb is a private blockchain, is it possible for us to create a public group of nodes using their technology?

They certainly host the web servers for you.I'm assuming they run a private chain which isn't based on ETH or any other coin that is they have created the project from scratch.This statement clearly explains it

BigchainDB is for developers and organizations looking for a queryable database with blockchain characteristics such as decentralization, immutability and the ability to treat anything stored in the database as an asset. Whether it’s atoms, bits or bytes of value, any real-world blockchain application needs performance. A perfect fit for BigchainDB.

Public group of nodes ? Since everything runs on a chain,isn't everything connected internally ? That is every node is being served the data someway or the other ? Since they can let you query a database,I'm assuming they have the ability to run a private chain and separate for every database made.

Thanks for clarification

Do you know https://ipfs.io/

is it similar too ? If both these project can be connected together ?
