Data sync: Research better scalability for big group chats (a la public chats) #66

Open oskarth opened 4 years ago

oskarth commented 4 years ago

Problem

A peer entering a large group chat / public chat wants to pull down the latest state quickly.

Investigate solutions for this and list tradeoffs.

One idea is to have an Aggregator and merge multiple logs.

Bit of an elephant in the room. Not Waku related per se, but would still be very useful if we have a solution for this for scalability/bandwidth reason. Ping @decanus to keep back of mind

With better simulations we can also easier test this type of thing
