GitDB


GitDB is a GPU-accelerated, version-controlled database system designed for vectors, documents, and tables. It implements a zero-knowledge architecture where data remains encrypted throughout storage, query execution, and computation using fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), ensuring plaintext never resides in server memory. The system provides REST API and gRPC interfaces and is distributed as a Python package.

History


Initial development focused on searchable encryption and private information retrieval Later versions introduced GPU-accelerated fully homomorphic encryption across query execution, branch diffing, and commit merging.
