#glommio hard fork attempt, newsletter 1:

- https://github.com/glommio/glommio/pulls

several small PRs were made (based on one big initial one) to clean up some lints and CI issues we inherited.

Your reviews and ideas are more than welcome

Hi Mastodon, we are trying to give glommio a second life: https://github.com/glommio/glommio

it is not an official hard-fork, we only experiment with how it will go. If you used glommio before and will to give it a little bit of your time, ask me to add you to contributors!

#rust #glommio #io_uring

Each time I see posts about how Mastodon (the backend software) scale I start to architect a replacement in my head.

Maybe a rewrite in rust using #Glommio and an event sourced core with storage in #PostgreSQL, projections in #ScyllaDB and #RedPanda for the queues.

But that's very much not a weekend project so it'll never happen.
