After some research, I found 5 most popular p2p databases, but still, don't understand how they differ from each other and which DB is better for certain cases.

OrbitDB is a distributed DB which uses IPFS to store data. You can think of IPFS as a distributed file system. IPFS is really interested. I encourage you to inspect IPFS.

BigchainDB uses blockchain technology to store data. It is a decentralized DB.

Gun seems like a P2P DB in which user stores data and it features p2p synchronization to keep data in sync.

HyperDrive is a P2P file system that you can copy files to other computers.

    Re BigchainDB, I'm not sure how true that is, as production deployments of BigchainDB are told to use MongoDB behind the scenes. Seems BigchainDB is just a sync layer on top of MongoDB – balupton Apr 10 '18 at 21:38
  • orbitdb also keeps data in sync between peers – Miguel Mota Feb 18 '19 at 05:57
