State of the project

LiveStore is based on years of research (see Riffle) and is used as the foundation for ambitious apps such as Overtone. LiveStore has been in development since 2021 and is making good progress towards a stable release. LiveStore is not yet ready for all production scenarios.

Current state

LiveStore is currently in beta with most APIs being fairly stable (there might still be some breaking changes in coming releases). Most work is currently focussed on reliability and performance improvements.

There is currently no specific timeline for a 1.0 release but we are making good progress in that direction.

On breaking changes

While LiveStore is in beta, minor releases can contain three kinds of breaking changes (patch releases don’t contain breaking changes):

• Breaking API changes
• Client storage format changes (whenever liveStoreStorageFormatVersion is updated, persisted local data is reset and rebuilt)
• Sync backend storage format changes (e.g. when a sync backend implementation changes the way how it stores data)

Release notes classify each breaking change by kind. We try our best to minimize breaking changes and to provide a migration path whenever possible.
