# Data storage solution Fireproof launches

I’ve seen [Fireproof](https://fireproof.storage/) around for a bit, here and there. But now the innovative — can I say “innovative”? — data storage solution from the [Portland-based cofounder of Couchbase](https://github.com/jchris) has been officially released.

According to the [Fireproof docs](https://use-fireproof.com/docs/welcome/):

> [Fireproof](https://fireproof.storage/) is an embedded database designed to bring **live data anywhere**. Quickly add live data to any app or page with our embedded database, reducing risk, cost, and complexity with provable secure synchronization using any backend.
> 
> Developers want to build features, not maintain complex stacks. Fireproof eliminates the traditional database setup, maintenance, and operations overhead, allowing developers to focus on building rich, local-first, collaborative apps. Fireproof turns any storage into an end-to-end encrypted, tamperproof ledger, empowering developers to build trustworthy apps that run anywhere with minimal operational cost and risk.

If you’d like to give it a try, you can visit the repository on [Github](https://github.com/fireproof-storage/fireproof) or the [Fireproof site](https://fireproof.storage/). There’s also a conversation going on Hacker News if you [search for “fireproof.”](https://hn.algolia.com/?q=fireproof)
