Project mention: Distributed² Machine Learning Notebooks with Elixir and Livebook | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-04-11
> I do wonder if maybe streaming large data chunks over Erlang distribution might be a problem and a secondary data channel (e.g. over udp or sctp) might be worth playing with.
You may want to take a look at the partisan[0] library written in Erlang. It is basically that, a reimagination of distributed Erlang, except that it can be multiplexed over multiple connections.

ra
A Raft implementation for Erlang and Elixir that strives to be efficient and make it easier to use multiple Raft clusters in a single system.
Erlang/OTP doesn't handle leader election, and by itself is bad at handling netsplits.
There is https://github.com/rabbitmq/ra which is a Raft implementation in Erlang that is Jepsen-tested. You could use it to build "etcd in Erlang", or https://github.com/rabbitmq/khepri which is built on top of Ra.

Project mention: Show HN: ElectricSQL, Postgres to SQLite active-active sync for local-first apps | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-20
Hi HN, James, Valter, Sam and the team from ElectricSQL here.
We're really excited to be sharing ElectricSQL with you today. It's an open source, local-first sync layer that can be used to build reactive, realtime, offline-capable apps directly on Postgres with two way active-active sync to SQLite (including with WASM in the browser).
Electric comprises a sync layer (built with Elixir) placed in front of your Postgres database and a type safe client that allows you to bidirectionally sync data from your Postgres to local SQLite databases. This sync is CRDT-based, resilient to conflicting edits from multiple nodes at the same time, and works after being offline for extended periods.
Some good links to get started:
- website: https://electric-sql.com
- docs: https://electric-sql.com/docs
- code: https://github.com/electric-sql/electric
- introducing post: https://electric-sql.com/blog/2023/09/20/introducing-electri...
You can also see some demo applications:
- Linear clone: https://linear-lite.electric-sql.com
- Realtime demo: https://electric-sql.com/docs/intro/multi-user
- Conflict-free offline: https://electric-sql.com/docs/intro/offline
The Electric team actually includes two of the inventors of CRDTs, Marc Shapiro and Nuno Preguiça, and a number of their collaborators who've pioneered a lot of tech underpinning local-first software. We are privileged to be building on their research and delighted to be surfacing so much work in a product you can now try out.
