What database used by Signal

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/signal

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Signal-Server

    Server supporting the Signal Private Messenger applications on Android, Desktop, and iOS

  • DyanmoDB maybe according to their tests? Their server infrastructure is AWS centric so it makes sense they would use an AWS managed database for persistent storage.

  • storage-service

  • Encrypted group state and a small amount of synchronization material gets stored in the "storage service," which uses Bigtable

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • SecureValueRecovery

  • There are other services out there; sailing past our own purpose-built datastores like the secure value recovery system and contact-discovery system, though, DynamoDB, Redis, and Bigtable are the main things we use that somebody might call a "database."
