Automerge: A New Foundation for Collaboration Software — Martin Kleppmann

Lots of software these days needs to enable collaboration between several users. We know how to build basic web apps, where all users read and update data in a shared database. But real-time collaboration, as we know it from Google Docs or Figma or Trello, is a much bigger challenge. It gets even harder if you want to allow users to continue working while offline. Automerge is an open-source library that aims to make collaboration software simple and robust. It provides a shared JSON-like data structure that several users can update at the same time, and which automatically merges all updates into a consistent view. It provides data formats for efficiently storing this data and syncing it between users. It seamlessly supports both offline work and live real-time collaboration while online. Internally, Automerge is based on Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs). In this talk we will explore some of the interesting computer science research that makes it possible, and see how it is used in practice. -------------------------------------------- Philly Emerging Technologies for the Enterprise (ETE) is hosted yearly by Chariot Solutions.
