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 address some of the problems…

Operation-based CRDTs: JSON document

Today we're going to cover how to build a complex, JSON-like document CRDT. In the past, we focused on homogeneous data types like registers, sets, arrays or maps. This time we're going to combine them all and tackle some of…

Data Loaders

Have you ever run into N+1 select problems with your GraphQL endpoint? If so, don't worry anymore. Today we're going to generalize and solve this kind of issues as well as discuss and explain the mechanics behind them. Also…

Writing high performance F# code

While this post is addressed to F# .NET developers, it introduces much wider concepts starting from hardware architecture to overall .NET runtime and JIT compiler optimizations. It shouldn't be a surprise - optimizing the application performance requires us to understand…

HyParView: cluster membership that scales

In the past I've made an introduction to different layers of cluster protocols and presented SWIM [https://www.bartoszsypytkowski.com/make-your-cluster-swim/]: a simple and intuitive approach to cluster membership, popularized by success of tools such as Hashicorp Consul. This time…

Operation-based CRDTs: arrays (part 2)

Last time [https://www.bartoszsypytkowski.com/operation-based-crdts-arrays-1/] we were discussing how to build a Commutative Replicated Data Types operating as indexed sequences - preserving order of inserted elements - using two different data structures: Linear Sequences (LSeq) and Replicated Growable…

Operation-based CRDTs: arrays (part 1)

In this post, we'll continue onto topic of Commutative Replicated Data Types. We already mentioned [https://www.bartoszsypytkowski.com/operation-based-crdts-registers-and-sets/#sets] how to prepare first, the most basic types of collections: sets. This time we'll go take a look at…

Operation-based CRDTs: registers and sets

Last time [https://www.bartoszsypytkowski.com/operation-based-crdts-protocol/] we started our operation-based CRDTs sub-series, as we moved away from state-based CRDTs. We talked mostly about core requirements and sample implementation of RCB (Reliable Causal Broadcast) protocol, which was necessary to provide…
