What is Dolt?

Some of our best blogs explain what Dolt is by comparing it to other tools in a category. Dolt is Git for Data, a version controlled database, and a decentralized database. The blogs below compare and contrast Dolt against other tools in those categories. Once you skim through these blogs you'll see there really is nothing else out there quite like Dolt.

We finish this section with our Getting Started guide. Seeing Dolt in action by walking through a simple example really drives home that Dolt really works and is easy to use.

Git for Data	Dolt is Git for Data. Explore other tools that call themselves Git for Data.
Database Version Control	Dolt is the world's first version controlled SQL database. Explore other tools in the database version control space.
Decentralized Database	Dolt is a decentralized database but it's not a blockchain in the traditional sense.
Getting Started	Start at the beginning and learn how to use Dolt as a version controlled database with a detailed, simple example.

Dolt Architecture

Dolt is built from the ground up to provide version control functionality. The core of the database is a novel data structure called a Prolly Tree. Dolt is the only database built on Prolly Trees. This data structure enables all the version control features you love in Git like diff and merge on large scale SQL tables.
