A Fediverse server built with Elixir and Phoenix. A drop-in replacement for Mastodon.
Swap it in. Keep everything. Go faster. Pay less.
And a friendly nudge to our favorite sparring partner @Mastodon@mastodon.social

Your move. Show us how fast a mastodon can run. 
Awesome! Congratulations.
@wintermeyer, when do you sleep if ever?! 
I don’t use Mastodon, but Abuuba looks great! Those numbers can’t lie.
Good work and congratulations all over again!
This happened by sheer coincidence. I needed a counterpart for https://vutuv.de to test and develop the Fediverse features. I had been waiting so long for Mastodon that at some point, the frustration became unbearable. I do hope that Mastodon takes this as a nudge to improve their performance. There is a lot of room for improvement.
Sheer coincidence or not, you are still a MONSTER! 
I’d like to hope so too. They have some smart people working there. The head of engineering is a math and theoretical computer scientist, so the brain power is there. But I think their choice of stack(i.e. Ruby) hampered them. However, this argument is questionable because Stripe runs Ruby and they’ve been performant.
Either way, at least we have you and Abuuba. 
A couple of questions for you:
Looking forward to your response!
Sometimes all it takes is a competitor. So I hope this becomes a little wake up call for them.
I make a living by improving performance of Ruby on Rails and Phoenix Framework applications. Of course Phoenix has a big advantage but I bet you 20 USD that Mastodon can become much faster even while still using Ruby on Rails.
Because of Mastodon. For vutuv I am still considering other protocols. But that is easier said than done. I want vutuv to be as open to other servers as possible.
I am the wrong person to ask here because I tried to create a bug by bug Mastodon alternative. So I did not care too much about the cleanest possible way of doing it but the way Mastodon does it today.
Claude Code moves mountains.
Thanks for the response, @wintermeyer.
I can’t refute that. I just wish they’d hire an expert and get this part fixed.
Hahaha, good one. It has definitely moved this one
I can’t believe it’s written by one person, great work!
Did you compare Abuuba’s performance with Pleroma (pleroma/pleroma - Forgejo: Beyond coding. We forge.), a Fediverse protocol implementation also written in Elixir?
It is one person using Claude Code. Otherwise this wouldn’t have been possible in the time it took.
No, I just compared it with Mastodon. The repo includes a benchmark mix tasks which runs Mastodon and abuuba against each other on the given hardware.
I have wished for an Elixir implementation of Mastadon ever since I learned about Mastodon. This is truly amazing: congratulations and thank you, @wintermeyer!
Having said that, may I suggest a new feature? 
The ability to run multiple domains on one server instance. I would love it if I could have my own domain myname@m.mydomain.abc but still use a hosted server, so all it would require would be pointing a CNAME m.mydomain.abc to this hosted server. This would give full portability (ie: my mastodon account doesn’t have to change if the host goes out of business or I want to switch) without having to run a separate VM. This could be a great premium (paying) feature for existing hosts.
A multitentant functionality would be food for a version 2.0 (plus a couple of other things).
