Hi protocol friends! I've been cooking up a Very Large PDS (vlpds) implementation capable of scaling up to billions of accounts and down to just one. It uses Object Storage as its only state, supports HA operation, live scaling up and down, is feature-complete with the reference PDS, and is FOSS.
vlpds.jazco.dev
Overview · vlpds docs
An atproto PDS whose only durable storage is an object store. Any node serves any request, one node can run a personal server for free, and a few nodes can carry all of Bluesky's write load.

my new record is out on lauren records. it’s called grimdark. i’m really proud of it. the album art was made by sebastian kim bateman. jack shirley mixed & mastered it. cleo mckenzie directed it. lauren records put it out. neat stuff ^_^

Oh yeah vlPDS now has full support for the atproto spaces alpha btw with tooling for users to manage their space data and operators to see the infrastructure-relevant info about spaces sync for their vlPDS instance. vlpds.jazco.dev/docs/spaces
vlpds.jazco.dev
Spaces · vlpds docs
Permissioned data on vlpds: every member keeps a private, signed space repo on their own PDS. It never reaches the firehose, and reading it takes a short-lived credential chain.

I truly believe that Object Storage is the only real datastore and everything else should be cache and compute on top of it. Databases are fake, Object Storage is the last database. All your systems should be built on top of it and use NVME and RAM as caches and local compute.

If you need low latency, simply support shard replicas and accept writes as durable when a quorum of replicas have written the write into memory and let them slowly flush to object storage in efficient batches that amortize operation costs. That's durable enough for pretty much anything.

Of course for ^ to be durable you want your replicas to be on different physical nodes and maybe different racks but yeah. Horizontally scalable DBs use RAM as a cache and NVME as durable storage with writes durable at R=2 nodes reporting in-memory writes. Now we have RAM -> NVME -> Object Storage.

This is nice because it allows single node operation and also allows recovery and seamless handoff by pulling from object storage instead of having to do heavy node-to-node reads to catch up or onboard a new node. Your durability is also a lot higher and you can run your local NVME hot.

Okay so I've built a new Atlas, this time it lets you explore the conversations on Bluesky over the past 7 days graphically. It should update every ~6 hours and help you navigate the information environment that exists on here. I've learned a LOT about what people do here today... atlas.jazco.dev

Projects like this are fun because I always end up with more questions than I had when I started, such as: - What is "Feral Flannel Friday"? - What is "Drag'n Wash" and why is there backlash about it? (the summary helped answer this one) - Who is making Hazbin Hotel Omegaverse art? - Furry pilot?

Already done a good amount of additional feature work on this today: Play-along mode using on-device models to recognize the chord you're playing and scroll for you Much nicer controls on desktop and mobile Drafts and publishing/unpublishing Support for 4 instruments (Guitar/bass/uke/piano) Sounds

when designing a distributed system, keep removing shared mutable state until it doesn’t work anymore, then put a little back and draw a box around it labeled “this will break first”

Do you like fast network replay? How does ~40 million events per second strike you? Replay the whole network in like 10 minutes In the best case scenario, running the jetstream server and the client on your own very powerful machine, this is roughly the peak I've achieved so far
a sample jetstream client that counts events, going at about 40 million per second

Someone made the mistake of getting me a UV laser engraving machine. ... (It was me.)
An egg with the word "egg" engraved into the shell. The top layer of the shell is gone and the layer below it is visible in those letters. There are no burnmarks or discolorations, somehow.A goldfish cracker with text engraved/burned on there in a tiny font. The text is: "Do you think this is still safe to eat??"A green leaf with the letters "hello world" cut out in the middle, held up to the sky.
