A couple of questions:
What's the underlying synchronisation mechanism?
Is it based on CRDTs?
How does this product differ from Gun.js and realm.io?
- code-is-code 9y agoIt would also be great to see a comparison to the couchDB-sync which I currently use via pouchdb/rxdb.
- archagon 9y agoIf this is similar to what powers GDocs, it's probably OT-based.
- itcmcgrath 9y agoIt does not use CRDTs as they cannot be used to handle all the update requirements of this system. It uses Paxos as the consensus algorithm, along with internal systems like the TrueTime API to enable us synchronously replicate across multiple data centers.
