Hendrik Mans @hmans.dev · Jun 13 Find a snappier chat app than Chatto, I dare you! This scrolling here includes pagination requests (remote, not local, phhsssh.) Each request served in just under 50ms. (Well, I admit I'm on the same continent.)

This sort of speed wasn't even a goal, it just happened. I recently refactored Chatto's backend to fully embrace event sourcing, and each process is holding some projections in local memory for hot paths. Fun!
Did o hear you say you need a tester with 400 ping?
But is it ATProto though?
What language is the backend written in, and how do you persist chat messages? I‘m still trying to triangulate what makes for fast server services vs speed by local caches w. event fanout from server
it's almost as fast from north america. just the occasional fraction of a second hitch on the scroll, but still a gabajillion times faster than discord or slack.
Excuse me but i dont get it. Graphql for a list of messages? Cmon u must rly luv fb engineering. It awesome actually but graphql for a list of items. Also: can chatto’s db fit in RAM fully on the server?
what's the frontend written in?
