# Introduction
|
|
|
|
BigchainDB is a scalable blockchain database. You can read about its motivations, goals and high-level architecture in the [BigchainDB whitepaper](https://www.bigchaindb.com/whitepaper/). This document, the _BigchainDB Documentation_, is intended primarily for three groups of people:
|
|
|
|
1. Developers of BigchainDB server software and related software (e.g. BigchainDB drivers/SDKs).
|
|
2. People deploying and managing BigchainDB clusters.
|
|
3. App developers who are developing client apps to talk to one or more live, operational BigchainDB clusters. They would use one of the BigchainDB drivers/SDKs.
|
|
|
|
Right now, BigchainDB is fairly new, so there are no live, operational BigchainDB clusters. There are no BigchainDB drivers. Those things are coming.
|
|
|
|
What does exist is our in-development BigchainDB server software. Therefore all the documentation is about that, for now. |
