Choose Your Data Model Wisely

To address complex data collaboration problems, select an effective data model, such as auto-merge, and establish a protocol for peer discovery and authentication. This allows for the development of software packages or libraries that facilitate easy data subscription and retrieval. Historical attempts at real-time collaboration highlighted significant performance drawbacks, particularly with operational transforms and CRDTs, underscoring the need for robust solutions as scalability increases beyond two participants, necessitating a server to manage collaboration effectively.
