  • arweave

    The Arweave server and App Developer Toolkit.

  • For storage, I only have experience creating applications that utilize Skynet and Filebase. Out of these, Filebase is the easiest to use for most developers as it's S3-compatible, but it's also centralized unlike Skynet. I've wanted to use ArWeave, but it looks a bit intimidating. Storj looks easy enough, but I have no experience using it and it's not as decentralized as Skynet.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • homebrew-golem

    Golem is creating a global market for computing power.

  • For compute, my experience has been the best with Akash, then Golem, then I have been unsuccessful with any other project as of yet. Both of these supports Docker images, but Golem is painfully thorough with securing providers with sandboxing in both networking and workloads. This makes Akash easier to use right now when wanting to run something more advanced such as a custom backend or a Minecraft Server.

  • node

    Source code for Akash node, a secure, transparent, and peer-to-peer cloud computing network (by akash-network)
