Gun is a real-time, decentralized, and offline-first graph database written in JavaScript. It allows developers to build applications that synchronize data across devices and browsers in real-time without the need for a central server. Gun provides features like automatic conflict resolution, peer-to-peer communication, and offline data storage, making it ideal for building collaborative and distributed applications.

Compared to traditional centralized databases like MongoDB or MySQL, Gun offers a more flexible and scalable approach to data storage and synchronization. It is actively maintained and continuously improved, with a growing community of developers contributing to its development.
