tmbb: Sorry, what is the context of your comment? Are you talking about our
issues with scaling ShareDB, or with my initial attempt at translating
ot-text into Elixir? If it’s the first one, I think a bigger concern is the
number of websockets that can be connected to a ShareDB instance at a time,
not so much what they are doing (we haven’t really found this to be a
bottleneck at least). The one problem we had was efficiently creating
hundreds of different documents at a time, but this is a single create
operation, it’s more because of the asynchronous nature of creating a
document from a ShareDB client. If ShareDB had a command (or we built an
extension into the client), which could take as an argument a dict of
objectid: content, and batch-create all the new documents, it would be
super-fast (and already it’s decent for us).
I have been reading a bit about CRDTs etc - they seem more appropriate for
peer2peer stuff, and not so necessary where you will anyway have a central
server? But very interested in all developments in this field. For CRDTs, I
generally see research papers and prototypes, but not much production-ready
libraries, etc.
