+KrahoDB is an open-source database designed to support multi-master replication. It is designed on the top of PostgreSQL, providing bidirectional replication, as well as row filtering.
+
+KrahoDB is a PostgreSQL fork. We provide versions based on PostgreSQL 10 and 11. All code is licensed under PostgreSQL license.

+Read the [PostgreSQL Coding Conventions](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/source.html). It is what we use for KrahoDB. Also, follow the style of the adjacent code! Remove any spurious whitespace (`git diff --color`). We tend to use underscores or Camelcase (prefer the former). Add useful comments (explain a behavior). Avoid "opens a file" comments.
