An Interactive Intro to CRDTs | jakelazaroff.com

CRDTs don't have to be all academic papers and math jargon. Learn what CRDTs are and how they work through interactive visualizations and code samples.

🚀 Dive headfirst into #CRDTs with Jake's blog, where academic complexity is magically transformed into... more complexity 🤯. After a month at the Recurse Center, Jake heroically sorts through the chaos of math jargon to offer you the 'Last Write Wins' of tutorials—but don't worry, your sanity might win too 😂.

#CaseStudy - the Man Group moved from managing one of Europe's largest MongoDB clusters to a truly #serverless architecture with #ArcticDB - no more chasing space, no more annoying upgrades - just a software library connecting directly to S3.

How do you build a high-performance database without a server? Alex Seaton breaks down the hard-won lessons from the transition:
• Clock drift is real
• Sometimes you have to redesign from scratch
• CRDTs are useful but very subtle things
