WRaft, a WebAssembly Raft Implementation over WebRTC

In plain words

WRaft is a WebAssembly implementation of the Raft consensus algorithm that runs over WebRTC connections. It enables distributed coordination and agreement across browser-based nodes without requiring a central server. The software is designed for developers building decentralized applications or peer-to-peer systems in web environments. It combines WebAssembly's performance with WebRTC's peer connectivity to provide a practical consensus mechanism for JavaScript-based applications.

  DriftDB – an open source WebSocket backend for real-time apps2023 · driftdb.com · ▲367

  Hey HN! I’ve written a bunch of WebSocket servers over the years to do simple things like state synchronization, WebRTC signaling, and notifying a client when a backend job was run. I realized that if I had a simple way to create a private, temporary, mini-redis that the client could talk to directly, it would save a lot of time. So we created DriftDB. In addition to the open source server that you can run yourself, we also provide https://jamsocket.live where you can use an instance we host on Cloudflare’s edge (~13ms round trip latency from my home in NY). You may have seen my…
