ThimbleDB is a Cloudflare-first encrypted database designed for small, read-heavy web applications. It provides a browser client with memory and encrypted IndexedDB caching, an authority for authentication and conditional writes, and a provider-neutral ObjectStore contract supporting Cloudflare R2, S3, Azure Blob, and local filesystem. The project is notable for its detailed architecture and focus on security and offline-capable reads.

Target audience: backend devs, frontend devs, devops
