Orama Network - Distributed P2P Platform
A high-performance API Gateway and distributed platform built in Go. Provides a unified HTTP/HTTPS API for distributed SQL (RQLite), distributed caching (Olric), decentralized storage (IPFS), pub/sub messaging, and serverless WebAssembly execution.
Architecture: Modular Gateway / Edge Proxy following SOLID principles
Features
- 🔐 Authentication - Wallet signatures, API keys, JWT tokens
- 💾 Storage - IPFS-based decentralized file storage with encryption
- ⚡ Cache - Distributed cache with Olric (in-memory key-value)
- 🗄️ Database - RQLite distributed SQL with Raft consensus
- 📡 Pub/Sub - Real-time messaging via LibP2P and WebSocket
- ⚙️ Serverless - WebAssembly function execution with host functions
- 🌐 HTTP Gateway - Unified REST API with automatic HTTPS (Let's Encrypt)
- 📦 Client SDK - Type-safe Go SDK for all services
Quick Start
Local Development
# Build the project
make build
# Start 5-node development cluster
make dev
The cluster automatically performs health checks before declaring success.
Stop Development Environment
make stop
Testing Services
After running make dev, test service health using these curl requests:
Node Unified Gateways
Each node is accessible via a single unified gateway port:
# Node-1 (port 6001)
curl http://localhost:6001/health
# Node-2 (port 6002)
curl http://localhost:6002/health
# Node-3 (port 6003)
curl http://localhost:6003/health
# Node-4 (port 6004)
curl http://localhost:6004/health
# Node-5 (port 6005)
curl http://localhost:6005/health
Network Architecture
Unified Gateway Ports
Node-1: localhost:6001 → /rqlite/http, /rqlite/raft, /cluster, /ipfs/api
Node-2: localhost:6002 → Same routes
Node-3: localhost:6003 → Same routes
Node-4: localhost:6004 → Same routes
Node-5: localhost:6005 → Same routes
Direct Service Ports (for debugging)

Serverless Functions (WASM)
Orama supports high-performance serverless function execution using WebAssembly (WASM). Functions are isolated, secure, and can interact with network services like the distributed cache.
1. Build Functions
Functions must be compiled to WASM. We recommend using TinyGo.
# Build example functions to examples/functions/bin/
./examples/functions/build.sh
2. Deployment
Deploy your compiled .wasm file to the network via the Gateway.
# Deploy a function
curl -X POST http://localhost:6001/v1/functions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <your_api_key>" \
-F "name=hello-world" \
-F "namespace=default" \
-F "wasm=@./examples/functions/bin/hello.wasm"
3. Invocation
Trigger your function with a JSON payload. The function receives the payload via stdin and returns its response via stdout.
# Invoke via HTTP
curl -X POST http://localhost:6001/v1/functions/hello-world/invoke \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <your_api_key>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"name": "Developer"}'
4. Management
# List all functions in a namespace
curl http://localhost:6001/v1/functions?namespace=default
# Delete a function
curl -X DELETE http://localhost:6001/v1/functions/hello-world?namespace=default
