-EventStoreDB is an open-source, functional database with Complex Event Processing in JavaScript.
+KurrentDB (formerly EventStoreDB) is the leading event-native data platform, enabling organizations to build modern, event-driven applications and unlock the power of their business history. By capturing every change as an immutable event, KurrentDB provides a single source of truth for real-time data, historical analysis, and advanced AI/ML initiatives.
 
-This repository maintains documentation for EventStoreDB (imported from the server repository on build), Event Store Cloud, client SDKs, and other tools and product provided by Event Store.
