CRDTs & Security: Authentication

Today we're going to continue exploration of Conflict-free Replicated Data Types domain. This time we'll start designing protocols that focus on a security aspects as first class citizens. Managing security and permissions in peer-to-…

Conflict-free reordering

In this blog post we'll define the basics for a move operation used by Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDT), which allows us to reorder the items in the collection. We'll define the general approach and…

Shelf: easy way for recursive CRDT documents

In the past we already discussed how to build JSON-like Conflict-free Replicated Data Type [https://www.bartoszsypytkowski.com/operation-based-crdts-json-document/]. We used operation-based approach, with wide support for many operations and characteristics of a…

Deep dive into Yrs architecture

In this blog post we're going to cover the the internals and architecture behind Yrs [https://crates.io/crates/yrs] (read: wires) - a Rust port of popular Yjs [https://yjs.dev/] CRDT library used for building collaborative peer-…

CRDT optimizations

After series of 11 blogs posts about Conflict-free Replicated Data Types, it's time to wrap up. This time let's discuss various optimizations that could be applied to CRDTs working at higher scale. Other blog posts…

Pure operation-based CRDTs

In this blog post we'll continue on topic of operation-based CRDTs and focus on the optimizations and approach known as pure operation-based CRDTs [https://hal.inria.fr/hal-01287738/document]: how can we use them to…
