> CRDTs are designed for decentralized systems where there is no single central authority to decide what the final state should be. There is some unavoidable performance and memory overhead with doing this. Since Figma is centralized (our server is the central authority), we can simplify our system by removing this extra overhead and benefit from a faster and leaner implementation I think this is on point. It's also super refreshing to see the work on Aper [1] [2] (a Rust library implementing state machine synchronization across a trusted network). Looking forward next series of articles here!
