A clock synchronization library in golang for distributed systems

In plain words

This is a Go library designed to synchronize clocks across distributed systems, addressing a fundamental challenge in coordinated computing environments. It is intended for developers building applications that require precise time alignment between multiple machines or servers. The library was released in 2018 and is available on GitHub for those needing reliable clock synchronization in their infrastructure.

  Bi-directional sync between Postgres and SQLite2023 · powersync.com · ▲356

  Hi HN, Today we’re launching PowerSync, a Postgres<>SQLite bi-directional sync engine that enables an offline-first app architecture. It currently supports Flutter, React Native and web (JavaScript) using Wasm SQLite in the browser, with more client SDKs on the way. Conrad and I (Ralf) have been working on our sync engine since 2009, originally as part of a full-stack app platform. That version of the system is still used in production worldwide and we’ve learnt a lot from its use cases and scaling. About a year ago we started on spinning off PowerSync as a standalone product that is…

  Whirlwind – Async concurrent hashmap for Rust2024 · github.com · ▲140

  Hey HN, this is Will and David from Fortress (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=41426998). We use a lot of async Rust internally, and created this library out of a need for an async-aware concurrent hashmap since there weren’t many available in the Rust ecosystem. Whirlwind is a sharded HashMap with a fully asynchronous API. Just as dashmap is a replacement for std::sync::RwLock, whirlwind aims to be a replacement for tokio::sync::RwLock. It has a similar design and performance characteristics to dashmap, but seems to perform better in read-heavy workloads with tokio's…

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
