Is it possible to have a full distributed database?

So I was thinking more about this… If you wanted to have a user group-hosted cluster with no 3rd party, and the app would be hosted strictly on user owned devices (or maybe devices leased through a separate agreement with a private hosting provider), is this more what you had in mind?:

Alternatively, if you wanted to allow users in the group who don’t necessarily host, or needed to access the app from devices which are not a cluster node, maybe:

No worries! I actually really need to find a solution to this problem as well, and it helps to talk it through :slight_smile:

Possibly in the future, or maybe on the dgraph slack channel, but would like to keep having the discussion here in hopes that we can tie it in to a couple threads already started (Multi-tenant solution for Dgraph and Ultimate user privacy scheme) for a holistic solution to this problem possibly involving new dgraph features :slight_smile:
