Sorry my edit was after your answer.

Yeah well, literally ORM has relational in it, but you probably know what I mean.

So it behaves more like a graph store? - Can I query bottom up / through collections ?

I'm really interested in the technical details and their implications.

Yes, thinking about the internal structure as a graph will give you the right ideas.

We don't have support for collecting objects bottom up yet, bu t it is tracked here: https://github.com/realm/realm-java/issues/2232

Realm Swift/Objective C has support for bi-directional references and we are adding that to Realm Java shortly as well: https://github.com/realm/realm-java/issues/607 ..That will also help when doing bottom-up queries.

If you want to know more about the internal details. There is some talks/articles here that might interest you:

Thanks !

I'm reading through the docs and it seems very appealing. Especially the Observability of changes. I assume this works well because it is contained in one Process.

No, the change notifications will work across processes as well. Realm Java still need to add multi-process support though (https://github.com/realm/realm-java/issues/1091), but it is working in Realm Swift/Objective C.
