So where does the Homekit database for a home live? Is this even a valid question - is there a single database or does each iOS device maintain its own database

So where does the Homekit database for a home live? Is this even a valid question - is there a single database or does each iOS device maintain its own database and they sync between themselves? Semi-related - what does the new AppleTV have to do with Homekit? It apparently does somehow enable connectivity, though the Siri instance running on the AppleTV doesn't seem to be able to interact with any local devices.

Some state of what devices are available lives on the HomeKit supporting bridge (in this case on the device you're running HomeBridge on), but the controlling devices also maintain state as to which devices in the target home you've paired with.
