distributed log (dlog)
‘A partitioned append-only log that all producers and consumers use as a pipeline.’ — Melina Lu in Functional distributed systems beyond request-response
‘I would recommend using a typed data serialisation system where we can ensure safe schema evolution in a developer friendly way and not manage these changes on top of JSON or XML’ — Melina Lu in Functional distributed systems beyond request-response @30:10
(also called event sourcing)
Is the append-only IPFS log that OrbitDB uses similar to this?
Is this what Olav was talking about at some point (where he worked at the time)? Where they had a massive Firehose with all the events? And you could just ‘subscribe to a stream’. To do your analysis etc?
