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 getting closer to a stable release. LiveStore is not yet ready for production use but can already be used during development.

Current state

• LiveStore is currently in private early access and available as an alpha release.
• private early access: To keep the development sustainable and level of feedback manageable, LiveStore is currently only available in early access to GitHub sponsors. We plan to offer public access to LiveStore early 2025.
• alpha release: LiveStore is still under heavy development which includes breaking changes and database resets during version upgrades. We expect LiveStore to reach a relatively stable state (beta) in the first half of 2025 and aiming for an initial stable release in the second half of 2025.

On breaking changes

While LiveStore is in alpha there can be two kinds of breaking changes:

• Breaking API change
• Storage format changes (whenever liveStoreStorageFormatVersion is updated)

We try our best to minimize breaking changes and to provide a migration path whenever possible.
