# NAME
Prophet - A distributed database system
# VERSION
version 0.751
# DESCRIPTION
Prophet is a distributed database system designed for small to medium scale
social database applications. Our early targets include things such as bug
tracking.
## Design goals
- Arbitrary record schema
- Replication
- Disconnected operation
- Peer to peer synchronization
## Design constraints
- Scaling
We don't currently intend for the first implementation of Prophet to scale to
databases with millions of rows or hundreds of concurrent users. There's
nothing that makes the design infeasible, but the infrastructure necessary for
such a system will...needlessly hamstring it.
