Embrace Familiarity for Easier Transitions in Data Modeling

Utilizing CRDTs allows for synchronization and merging of data without needing identical code across all nodes, enhancing flexibility in client-server interactions. This architecture supports varied server-side processing—like permission checks or timestamp management—while maintaining data integrity across different sync orders. However, adopting the Replicash model provides a more familiar approach, where a centralized authority manages message ordering, thereby simplifying the transition for existing applications. This adaptability is particularly advantageous for integrating multiplayer functionality into existing data models, requiring minimal changes compared to a full shift to CRDTs, which might necessitate a complete redesign of the data structure.
