Fair, fair point.
I did not realize (I'm not the author of gun-graphql, it is from an open source community contributor) graphql-anywhere was a Meteor project.
I think that Meteor can be the winner-takes-all in open source centralized realtime services, and they/you have been so far. However, as I've actively debated here and elsewhere, that Master-Slave architecture is not scalable. While I love RethinkDB and think that they were the best, I also criticized that their shutdown was evidence of a systemic downsizing in use cases for centralized infrastructure - and therefore could not gain a large enough market capitalization for Open Source to make sense from a financial model.
The RethinkDB guys are some of the nicest and most brilliant engineers I have ever met (also evidence to that fact is their success with the Jepsen Tests compared to other vendors), but the architecture choice is unfortunately a mistake.
So please take my comments as an engineering analysis, I myself should admit (and thank you for calling me out!) that: If you are building some app that needs Strong Consistency (like a banking application), then Meteor will be a much much better choice than gun, since we are an eventually consistent manner.
Thanks for calling me out!
