Discussion around the technical side isn't developer solipsism. It's part of the process for product design.
Append-only logs do scale. Dat 2.0 uses a hash-trie structure inside its file metadata log to act as pointers for fast lookups. Partial replication means you don't have to pull down the full history.
Mark, you work on a competing product to ours. I'd appreciate it if you didn't FUD our work. We don't do that to you.
- marknadal 7y agoDAT is one of the better protocols because it has evolved its approach and is starting to adopt CRDTs. I'm FUDing append-only logs and immutability, not products - don't conflate the two, or else you discourage legitimate discussion around the scalability of different architectures. Question: Do you have to still store the full history? How would you explain scaling something like Uber with this model, then? You're gonna have 100s of GPS coordinate updates per second, for each car, potentially millions of them.
