SpacetimeDB

“achieves amazing performance by making everything a stored procedure”

“Also look at single core focused systems like spacetimedb, sometimes if a workload is not embarrassingly parallelizable”

“it blends the processing model of actors and the data model of relational databases really neatly”

“SpacetimeDB Cloud has the same exact behavior as CRDB in terms of tolerating single node failure and loss of availability”

“I don't see anything that indicates how spacetime solves the core problem CRDB does, which is guaranteeing that single node failures can be tolerated with zero data loss or loss of availability”

“I concede that we do have a big lock. But that is only because we did the alternative first and it performed worse”

“They are yolo mode by default with periodic fsync and a big mutex around every reducer”

“I'm not sure that the comparison between CRDB is a good one.”

“If rolling back a few minutes is tolerable in exceptional scenarios then I disagree.”

“As someone who has been using alot of spacetime for side projects, I am continually impressed with the speed at which it operates.”

“We feel very comfortable that it's the most performant backend for persistent games though.”

“the benchmarks make assumptions about your stack doesn't sit right with me”

“I'm curious to try out Spacetime in a project now.”

“It's super cool tech imo.”

“I don't think this can compare with TigerBeetle just because both are single threaded”

“don't really trust how new it is nor all the weird marketing behind it”

“it does have a RwLock, but that is by design and produces better results than the alternative.”

“I like the core idea quite a bit”

“we're so far out ahead of typical database performance for most OLTP workloads”

“it's simply faster for almost all workloads”

“single threaded execution is optimal for performance here”

“We do not need to trust them, we employ a system like Ethereum's gas limits to prevent infinite loops.”

“For some reason they apparently lock things while "reducer"s are running.”

“I'm somewhat impressed by the results, it's not exactly surprising to me when you make the trade-offs they're making”

“I had a lot of criticisms of what he was making and the way it was being made”

“SpacetimeDBs “benchmarks” might be the most egregious, blatantly misleading benchmark I’ve ever seen”

“Some of their work utilizing Rust was interesting.”

“Specifically targeting your use case with high fps.”

“I worked in SpacetimeDB and I proudly say is half-way”

“SpacetimeDB has worked very well in my game so far.”

“It was surprisingly easy to build the standalone demo but the full integration obviously is not as straightforward.”

“But I am still a bit skeptical at how scalable this is.”

“i am reluctant to be tied into a platform that my project cannot work without”

“I think the product is great and I do really like it”

“This looks very promising. There's a need for persisting game state in a central place”

“the server stays authoritative and the client just renders and interpolates”

“It felt a little dishonest due to using different clients, protocols, concurrency, etc in the benchmarks”

“I'm realizing what they are claiming to do if true will make it much faster to ship.”

“Using the same module written in Rust, we can do even better on the same machine, 165k+ TPS.”

“Not an opened source license, they allow to use only 1 production server”
